Seems like a TL022 fixed it for some. Moving wires away from the LFO fixed it for others.

Moving the wires or using shielded wire has worked on all the ones that I've built.

I didn't know font managers were a thing until you just mentioned it now. I have probably over 1000 fonts on my laptop, and scrolling thru them to find one in the style I want when I dont know the name can take literally over an hour or two. Good to know for sure!

Put together and mounted this media storage in the music/TV area of the basement. Still need to figure out the optimal way to organize stuff since there are plenty more discs being stored elsewhere.

The ones used in the LFO, which I think are IC6.

Printing on textured surfaces is a nightmare...unfortunately i have a bunch of this powder still....Im thinking of just finishing out one or two more so as to not waste it but after that im staying away from textured powder coats in the future for sure...Im hoping once the hardware is all on it will come together a little better.

I wonder if you might have better luck printing on textured surfaces by first doing a flood coat of some sort of transparent epoxy to give a smooth raised surface where the print can sit. Generally screen printing isn’t done on textured surfaces since it’s so difficult though— I know even heavily textured papers are advised against for serigraphic prints.

That would be an amazing idea! Ive been looking into different inks and i think a 2 part epoxy ink called Nazdar ADE is what would probably benefit on this type of surface. Im pretty sure they even have a clear coat like epoxy. Regardless im staying away from textured surfaces after i run out of this batch, heck i might not even do anymore prints on textured surfaces from here on out. Just leave them un labeled for the time being....

A clear powder would work too right?

I actually haven't thought about that. I'm guessing you're thinking of doing a clear coat over the enclosure therefore giving it a smooth surface? That might actually work. I only have so much powder left over I'm thinking i might leave one enclosure alone and give that a try for future references.

Yeah, clear powder can also be used to create some depth with the screening on top. Since you've already got the setup, it'll be easier to integrate clear powder into your workflow than using an epoxy, and you don't have to be as concerned with chemical compatibility or risk of yellowing (which can be an issue with some epoxies).

Man your speaking all the sense in the world!
That was my biggest concern, I'm already setup to use one shot paint. And cleanup has been a breeze. I was looking into what is needed for those 2 part inks and while they look useful i would need to buy a whole new set of ink removers. That would burn a hole in my pocket rather than just buying a clear coat. Thank you so much, this is why this place rules!

Looks fucking great! I love the folded enclosures!

Thank you man! I hope to only get better at them! I want to start designing another style but i would like to wait until i get a box brake, that way i can make folds that are otherwise kind of impossible to get!

Bummer, I wasnt paying attention to the spacing on the inside and now its too late!
Oh well this is a learning experience looks like i have a better chance at reprinting that graphic anyway!
