The last four rows are for the footswitches and the corresponding LEDs, right? I gotta steal this for the Parentheses Mini, combined with the other 5-knob templates from the super mega master list so kindly made by @finebyfinethe table

Hello Hugo,
Hope you are doing well! I wanted to write you with a suggestion for the
Tayda Box Tool that just going off of discussion on the PedalPCB forum I
imagine could increase sales for enclosure products, and certainly just
be convenient. The first would just be the ability to share completed
drill templates publicly so that others can order them. Semi-related
would be the ability to duplicate Drill templates to allow the editing
of just one or two holes. On the PedalPCB forum we share tayda drill
templates for specific pcb builds a /lot/.
Either way, just wanted to shoot that your way. Thank you for everything
you guys do for the pedal building community!
Best,
Alex
Awesome. Creating the template now. I wouldn't have been able to get started without your help.View attachment 16881
The hole sizes are adjusted for powder coat, and you need to adjust the LED holes to taste, depending on what you're using.
Hole for DC jack is for a slimline jack.
Only the USB hole is missing
Oh... Probably the same size you used for the toggle switches: 6.55mm.Awesome. Creating the template now. I wouldn't have been able to get started without your help.
For the LEDs, I use the plastic 5mm bezels. On bare aluminum enclosures, a 1/4" drill bit creates a hole where I have to work hard to get the bezel in, but it stays snug without any glue. What size hole would you recommend to compensate for the powder coat?

If yes, you should be good with 6.55. I tend to go a tad smaller (maybe 6.35 with the powder coat), and if needed I file little by little to ensure a good pressure fit (and sometimes file too much and have to use hot glue... ), but I think that's because I did the hole too large before and didn't want to do the same again... But I'll try with the 6.35(6.55 with the powder coat) next time.
Maybe it defeats the point of a pre-drilled enclosure, but I always use the same size hole regardless of powdercoat then hit it with the proper size drill bit if needed. The hard part (alignment) is already done.What size hole would you recommend to compensate for the powder coat?
I've been meaning to email Hugo to suggest that the templates we make on drill.taydakits.com that are permanently saved are able to be publicly shared. Would make this a lot easier, imho
Edit: just sent this to Hugo. If anyone wants to echo these sentiments (without blowing up his inbox) I imagine the better
