Title: First Madbean build
Post by: jonnygreentrees on September 26, 2016, 12:43:49 PM
Bangarang's Mutron Phasor II clone.

I've built quite a few kits before but this is my first build (forgetting about my failed Clarinot) on single sided copper etch and my first build where I drilled my own enclosure.

Pretty pleased with how it's turned out

Wow! That is a killer decal. Post a gut shot too.

Cheers!

Guts are a bit of a mess, most of the offboard wiring could be a lot shorter but I just wanted to get it boxed up

Nice work! I dig the graphic and the inside doesn't look as bad as you describe.

We're such an odd lot (builders) when it comes to insisting on gut shots. I mean, I get the curiosity (I certainly am nosy enough to want a peek inside), but with very few exceptions do I see guts that don't fall in the category of "seen better/seen worse". It is neat to see what is going on in there and how different folks approach similar projects.

Looks great! I agree, don't worry about those guts too much. I had a bit of trouble getting the wiring on my Nutron that clean either, mainly due to the pot wiring.

A bit of slack is handy too if you need to do any troubleshooting!  8)

Agree, and well said. Great build.

Also, high five for using the black laminate clad. I love that stuff. Look forward to seeing more from ya.

Looks super! I should really box mine up...such a nice sounding phaser.

Thanks!

It sounded great but really subtle. The build doc only specifies a 5mm yellow LED which is what I bought, but when I looked at the Tayda LED Bangarang had bought for his original project it is 2000-3000mcd whereas the one I bought from Bitsbox in the UK is only 36mcd. I have now removed my original LED and am awaiting a 2500mcd LED.

So word to the wise, use a 2000-3000mcd yellow diffused LED for the correct effect
