Title: Honey Dripper and Glitchee
Post by: mjg on November 17, 2020, 08:18:16 AM
A couple of finished pedals this month.  These sat on the "Wall of missing potentiometers" for a long time, but they're finally done. 

The Honey Dripper first:

And then the Glitchee.  For this one I must have put the holes too high, because the pots didn't fit into the enclosure.  Some 'adjustments' with the belt sander on the pots were required to get things to fit.

For the enclosures, I found that the wife of a work friend does acrylic paint pouring, so commissioned a few from her.  They came out pretty awesome.  Put some waterslide decals over the top, and I'm really happy with how these look.  I'll probably get her to do a few more in future, it saves me having to think up artwork, and it looks great.

If you want to see how the painting is done, she's got a YouTube channel - here's one that is a similar technique to what she's done on the enclosures for me:

Very cool enclosures! They remind me of some gas planets.

That looks so cool.  Thanks for the video, at least now I get an idea of how it's done.  Very nice builds.
