Potential EUVL F5X designed case user distribution check

Yes, McMaster-Carr is a good place for metric fasteners.
You may also try Misumi but they need to open a commercial account first.

qusp recommended a company called "Boltdepot" (already mentioned by Horio) in the "Potential Other Groupbuys Thread":

....
titanium mounting bolts from the boltdepot which is utterly fantastic for fasteners of all kinds, great pricing and great range of bolts, washers, nuts etc and all come in different anodized colours and both imperial and metric. the flush-mount washers and matching countersunk head blts are perfect for fets and can be colour coded for easy identification of rail etc. more useful for amps with more outputs than the f5x
....

Good news group,
Today marks the official day of production of EUVL’s F5X case,
Mark has now received our down payments.

Good luck Mark and thanks for all your hard work so far!

Thanks very much, John, for your update. Indeed good news.

Is the Conrad heatsink order also already at an advanced state?

Slower than I would have hoped for. I will have thorough update in a couple of days.

Conrad GB Heatsink Update
Completion will be around 4 weeks, I hope this will not hold up timings. I may be able to squeeze to get them sooner, I will keep you updated with progress.

Cheers

Final layout at the rear (viewed from the rear).
First the external view.

Is there any information on how the back panel will be marked, for example the Class 1 mark and AC power mark, the fuse rating, and connector markings?

 

[EUVL]

Totally blank, not marked.
Minimalistic just like the front.
My design signature.

I was asking mainly if we should at all attempt to have regulatory compliance, this requires some markings on the chasis.

 

[EUVL]

Why ? This is not a product. It is DIY.

The way the case is design (with the transformer vibration isolation), it probably will not pass CE or UL.

So, in Japan the Furutech FI-10 costs 1100 Yen the (G) model and 1500 Yen the (R) model. I saw them in a shop in Akihabara. Looks like the Furutech reseller changed idea, and last time I called him said that they do not sell to end-users.

If it's cheaper, or it can help I can buy them and ship them so that they are included in the case package.

MarkLai is on the road but he is in for 10 pcs Furutech FI-10.
John, could you check interest and see whether Davide has the best deal ?


Thx,
Patrick

 

[johnwmclean]

Davide’s price is good, an hours search and nothing I can find tops it.

Thanks Davide for organising this, I’ve started an interest check here:

Patrick, should I put MarkLai down for G or R?

 

[EUVL]

Just did.
