What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

I originally drilled the enclosure for an Electrovibe, but it ended up being too shallow for the lamp bulb. I filled in the holes with JB Weld (link). It works really well and is easy to use. I’ve attempted multiple paint jobs, hated them, and removed them. I might just kick it down the sidewalk a few times to complete the beat up look and call it a day.

Oh, interesting! I've used JB Weld before, but it doesn't look the same on the inside---maybe mine is a different consistency/type

Also, trying to decide if I wanna use one of my 1456s (17x11") to house all of these or if I should just use individual 1590XX

I ordered a drilled 1590XX from Tayda for mine, using the measurements from the Aion build doc, and sadly the In and out jacks came out too close to the screw bezel with those numbers. 🤬😩

Similar issue with mine, but this was my own fault completely, I did the template and pushed the footswitches too close to the edges:

My brother has a dremel knockoff, so the plan is to either enlarge the hole a bit towards the middle so the footswitch can move there, or shave off some of the screw bezel to slide the footswitch in. A DPDT does fit, so only have to fix one side on this one, but the King of the Morning has 3PDT's on both sides. Thankfully only an issue with those two.

Might a low-profile 3pdt fit? I use these for all of my 1590G builds and a lot of other stuff, and they’re a fair bit smaller in each dimension than a normal 3pdt, but they hold up well— they seem just as solid as the regular ones!
Visually they might not match up with the dpdt unless you get the low profile dpdt to match it, but I image it would be the perfect solution for the one that you need two 3PDTs for!

Edit: not sure if this is for something with a daughterboard, but the low profile switches have a tighter pin spacing so they have to be hand wired. If a daughterboard is essential, then disregard the above suggestion 😳

I run into this issue quite a bit, and I just Dremel away the excess screw bezel. Only takes a couple minutes

Thanks for the suggestion, but low profile 3PDTs are out of stock on Tayda and LMS won't work due to costs (could probably buy my own Dremel-knockoff for a similar price), I'm pretty sure. Plus I already soldered the daughterboard and switch on, and it's also a good excuse to see my brother who I don't see enough 😅 Much easier for Finns to meet if there is an actual reason to do so.

I won't bother measuring, but since the DPDT fits, a low-profile 3PDT might fit too. At least it's something to keep in mind for the future.
