Enclosure Design

[dkozel]

The Hammond 1455D602BK enclosure is affordable and a good form factor for this. Small enough to be portable and proportionate to a noise source, but large enough to not wildly get pulled around by a cable.

The PCB outline is 39x60mm. 4mm of clearence is needed on either side of the long edges.

The top and bottom have very slightly recessed panels that would fit a 54x32.5mm sticker or design.

The front and rear panels are 1mm thick aluminum. The black coating is resiliant but can be laser etched. Since both faceplates will need cutouts there's also the option of engraving text on them.

1455D602BK:

Love it. One can glue two magnets on any of the sides, and affix them to any desktop-device steel enclosure that one has standing around anywhere, too.

How are you going to make use of the LEDs, though? COTS LED->Front panel light guides (like on say, the B2x0) need cutouts around the LED for affixing; maybe add a second, unpopulated 2-pin through-hole in parallel to the existing LEDs so that you can solder & bend "classical" 3–5mm diameter leaded LEDs?
