Phantom plate case files?
« on: Wed, 17 December 2014, 19:12:56 »
Hello fellow hackers,

I have a manufacturer that makes metal and acrylic goods 15 minutes from where I live and I was wondering if there is a way to acquire something that I can send or produce for them to make a case for the Phantom PCB.

I already have the plate design from the CAD Thread, so all I'm missing is what goes below that and encompasses the PCB. If I can't find it, I'll have to make one. That would be last resort, because I'm trying to save time. :D

Thank you for any help!

MOZ had a file, didn't he? I've never seen it made but it should work for any 87key ... not so sure about, for instance, the 101key 7-bit layout but it would be a definite start.

See my sig. I have used it to cut a case for myself and it works well.

Thank you, MOZ. I have found the Universal.dwg file. What is a common price for the plate? I'll be getting quotes for steel. I'm thinking of making the other layers in acrylic, I like the exposed bottom.

Thanks again.

Thank you everyone that has helped as well. Sorry about the late response.
