almost there!!!
this was painful.
I printed image on gray paper with ink jet..clear-coated aluminum and stick paper onto that so it sticks to aluminum. then applyed two layers of clear-coat onto that.
drilling was painful. huh. glad it's over finally.

Wow a.b.o.z - that is a great looking panel! Shocked

Are those bananajacks the cheap ones from futurlec? Are you having trouble with them coming loose from the panel, I mean you tighten the nuts, but after plugging and unplugging for a while, the nuts on the jacks start to come loose. I have that problem...

Man, I really need to start thinking about my Klee as well...

thnx Coriolis.

yes those are futurlec cheapest bananas. but I don't have that problem.
got patchbay on SK-1 for a while now and there's no problem..
maybe you could try and put a bit of solder on joint of nut and jack??? just a tought...didn't try this...

I'm not really sure what I'm doing. But I love to design front panels.. Smile

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

It's designed to fit onto 2 pieces of 42HP eurorack frontpanels. I realize after looking at the awsome panel designs here that mine has a few flaws (Some places I didn't know if there was a pot, led or a swtich.. but I figured I'd get to know that eventually, and redesign afterwards..). And the double rows of LEDs come from me being tired and watching youtube (I thought I saw 2 rows of LEDs, but apparently not). Anyway I thought it could be cool to have the lower row just show the actuall step of the sequence, and the upper row the active bits.

Anyway - I'll probablt remake it once I get the whole project started.. Can't wait Cool

That is really nice - very unique look.

is there a basic template any of you used to start with? or a program for designing panels that already has all the knob and jack holes as templates?

i ask because i will be wanting to start this in the spring and i figure i shoud learn a good klee design program.

I drew mine with Visio, and it's rather plain at that - maybe someone here has an FPD or something along those lines?

I was designing the front panel as a module of 84 hp. 3U.

I see, eg, fonik, is also 3U but for stand alone in the rack. What there is behind the front panel? Any standard case?

Hey Zthee .... I really like that panel design and the graphics you use ..... Very unique and the groupings are logical Wink

What are you plans to turn this into a real panel Very Happy

the enclosure consists of the frontpanel, a back panel and two side panels. one will have to order additional top and bottom covers and a mounting panel as well.
schaeffer would engrave a panel you send them. since i wanted a green anodized panel for the klee it was easier for me to let them do a new panel (the old is now resting in the drawer waiting for a future project). so i'd say i had to pay about 200.-EUR for the complete klee enclosure Shocked

After browsing through this thread, I have to say that there's some really creative panel designs for Klee.

I'm posting mine, which I laid out in Illustrator. It's not terribly special, but I got the layout to fit into some sheet-metal panels that I already had on hand. Nothing's labeled as per usual, but the flow is left to right, top to bottom.

1 big step closer to birthing a pair of Klees!
