The answer is always YES

CE distribution charged my credit card for shipping at the end of the year a few years back for previously placed orders stating "I was undercharged for shipping".  It wasn't worth the hassle to battle it but I haven't ordered from them again or their other sister companies.

Fun!

I don't have Kicad V5 installed yet, did they add net highlighting for the schematic?
It's something I constantly use.

Yeah, I'm using a CAD package daily.  When I started into PCB design, KiCad wasn't at the same level it is today.  It's really turning into a nice package.
It will also be interesting to see where Autodesk goes, they have been making subscription changes on Fusion360 recently and I wouldn't be surprised if Eagle is next.

If you are going to start on a CAD package start with Kicad or Diptrace (in my opinion).
As an Eagle CAD user, I'm actually working on learning other packages now, Altium (for high speed design work) and Kicad.
I have the legacy V7.7 Eagle CAD ultimate and actually unsubscribed to the newest versions of Eagle.  I understand that many are happy with the changes but I feel the direction is more for "show" and fancy features that only work in "perfect" scenarios.  Some of them are handy, but I really haven't found any of them useful in daily work.  That being said I use a lot of scripts I have written to perform things like job outputs, custom menus, etc.  So I have a lot of built-in automation for routine tasks.
I'm also not a fan of how Autodesk does constant releases with bugs.  I'd much rather use something where I know the bugs than continually running into new ones.
I also use Fusion 360 for mechanical CAD and I hate the constant updates opposed to one big release and then a bug fix release.

I would follow Chris Gammels newest videos on the Kicad 5 to get started.  Diptrace is great but there is much less info out there if you run into issues.

Just my 2 cents...

I did find the site, it needs the 's added.

It may be more than I want.  I'd probably be in for 1000 max.  I'm not sure if that's enough like you said though.

Do you have a link?
My quick search came up with a knife supplier...

Thanks guys.  I'm not really trying to match.  I would replace all with the right washer.
I can't omit the hardware in this case.  As much as I'd love to

I guess I will check out the local stores.

Does anyone have a source for 1/4 shaft toggle flat washers?
I got a huge batch of DPDT from love my switches and they have the locking washers.
I usually order from smallbear and they have the flat washers already.
I don't want to pay 0.10-0.12 a washer, but I cannot find the correct washer at any of the online hardware places like McMaster -carr etc.  I can't really just cut the tab off as it's for production work and the other SPST toggle has a flat washer already.
Thanks!
Josh

Nice!

Remember if you daisy chain pedals this will affect all the pedals it's connected to.

What you can do is download the hammond dxf and import it to eagle to make the outline.
Eagle doesn't import curves on dxf files so you'll have to draw those in if you want them.

I do it slightly differently and import the enclosure step file into Fusion 360 and create a dfx from a projected sketch and import it to eagle.
That way I can include only the what I want on the dxf file.

It's easier than it sounds but you need a mechanical CAD program to do it that way.

You likely have to be in the board editor and add it there.
I'm not sure how his library is set up but mine has the enclosures only as footprint with no associated schematic symbol.

Is there a link to the gofundme?
