Title: Sharkfin. First enclosure etch.
Post by: slimtriggers on August 19, 2013, 06:40:52 PM
I wish I'd posted this sooner, now it kinda looks like I ripped off Codtone's idea  :-[ 

Anyway.  First enclosure etch wasn't too bad.  I'll definitely be doing more of these in the future.  This was done with  photopaper toner transfer and ferric chloride.  Exactly the same process as etching a board.  I left it unfinished because I liked how it looked all grungy.

The circuit sounds pretty good.  I need more time to play around with it, though.  Still don't have the sample hold dialed in just right, either.

That, in my estimation, is less than a hair shy of perfect. Fantastic job.  8)

Thanks guys!  Definitely one of the more ambitious wiring jobs I've done.  I'm so used to using the 1776 3PDT boards that I forgot how to do the standard Madbean switch wiring.  It didn't pass any signal when I first plugged it in, and when I opened it up I realized I'd forgotten to wire up the input jack  :-[

Fantastic finish on this one, love the rustic look to it.

Looks great!
I'd be very happy to pull-off text as clean as that. ;)
Got to be one of my all time favourite circuits too. I've built a few now, and no two ever sound the same.

Now that's how etch's are meant to be... great design and execution! Very nicely done!

Love the etch! Looks great.

I love these dirty, rough looking etches!

The graphic and the etch really made me smile. Took me a sec to see that the fish bones had an eye patch. Clever.

Great build!
