Working on a dual pedal — Fuzzhugger Doom Bloom + Algal Bloom. I 3D printed a 1590XX mockup before drilling into an enclosure and I’m glad I did that. I wasn’t exactly sure how I wanted everything positioned, but this isn’t quite there yet. V2 is printing now.

3d printing is a great idea for that. I'd love a 3d printer.

Yeah, I’ve printed drilling jigs but this was the first “enclosure” I’ve printed. I’d consider this a great success. The inside isn’t very pretty because I underestimated how much wire length I would want in some places (and because some connections are only temporary, see the LEDs), but it’s functional and sounds great. I get some noise when running both fuzzes, but that’s probably somewhat to be expected. Remains to be seen if putting the boards in a metal enclosure helps.

Ooh I didn't realise you were printing the whole enclosure. Wicked.
Shielded cable could help with the noise, especially of it's not going in a metal enclosure.

Oh, it’s 100% going into a metal enclosure. I just don’t know when I’ll have a chance to do that between work, baby, and the fact that daylight it in limited supply right now.

Very cool to be able to 3d print things like this though. I've got some challenging builds coming up and being able to confirm your tolerances like that would be great.

Indeed. And this is just a test run for when I get around to stuffing three PCBs into those 1590DD enclosures I bought recently 😈
 
I am redoing my pedal board and have been buying some new pedals for it. I needed a tap tempo switch for two of the new pedals. I decided to just build them since they are easy to make and the cost of buying one is more than I think they should be. I just ordered some cool paint for them. I am going to see how nice I can make them look. I may post some pictures once I have them done.

Now that I have my soldering stuff all set back up again, I should pull out the other pedals that I have in the build process to see if I can finish any of them up. I would like to get them done.
