I love this. It gives the pedal that Russian Big Muff feel. Sometimes those little errors turn out to be great design choices. I remember spraying lacquer on my first pedal -- I sprayed it on too thick and it was too humid that day. The clear coat just cracked, but it cracked in a beautiful way -- couldn't have planned it, but I loved it.
"OHHHHHHhhhhhh"A prototype of the Reeves Electro BHS -D Enclosure.
I can do better on the back wall. I messed up the order of bends. Now I know!

Just looked at this again and realized you did the top in one piece! That’s slick! Couldn’t have done that with the old brake.
Yeah that old brake would have to have been modified. There’s no way I can get away with this enclosure on the older one!
The enclosure is 90mm wide by about 135 mm in length. It’s pretty much as wide as a 1590BB in the vertical orientation. This is much bigger than a standard 125B!It looks like there won't be much space left between the switch contacts and the bottom plate. Unless the enclosure is large and it's just an illusion
Have you tried making corner relief cuts by hand with a saw? There is a chance that they will be almost invisible, because the saw has a quite narrow kerf.
Btw - with this type of the enclosure, it is probably easier if the front and rear walls fit between the side walls and not the other way around. The side walls are always at a 90° angle. The front and back require a different angle and then it is easier to adjust the bending angle to the edge of the side wall.
Man that looks fantastic!Here's an example. The cut was maybe 2-3 mm deep, made with a jewelers saw. The blade of a jewelers saw is very thin, with a kerf of less than 1 mm. All in all, it's a bit of bending the rules of design and durability, because the material in the corner is quite stretched from the outside and compressed from the inside, but at least it looks good

Oh, one comment - for this one I used custom made fingers with radius a bit larger than "almost edge breaking" stock one.Man that looks fantastic!
I’m going to have to give it a try, I really like that look it looks almost seamless!
I have been thinking of milling my own custom fingers! Ones with different edges so i can make all kinds of bends!Oh, one comment - for this one I used custom made fingers with radius a bit larger than "almost edge breaking" stock one.
Meh, it’s already broken, it won’t not work anymore than it already doesn’t. Go for it.View attachment 68013
Well, that red wire sticking into the air would explain why the left bluetooth-earbud's not charging.
Not sure if I can get in there with my 888D, it's pretty tight and I've got another pair of these from E.Goldmine, and too many other things I want work on, to get done, so the spare pair are currently receiving current so I can get a charge out of them.
If you buy a set of these from EG, be careful they don't fall out of your ear, they're extremely fragile and pop open easily.
"OHHHHHHhhhhhh"
This (already have some dings), but also the edge is almost point-like, which causes significant distortion of the material. Pay attention to what the outer surface of the bend looks like. You can see the aluminum almost "tearing apart"
I use stock fingers for most of my work. I sand this texture on the outer edge
