All documents have been published for the last two GBs at the Pass forum.
Nothing has changed.
You just need to dig through them.
Make sure you take time to go through them before starting to orderor solder.

If there is anything still missing, let me know at the build thread.

I know that it will be some time before you will receive the case.
So I have discussed with CeeVee to provide a template upfront, so that you can correctly position the MOSFETs on the PCB without the case.
But he has some private issues right now which of course has priority.
So I am willing to provide a drawing for the template, if you all agree to relieve CeeVee of that burden.
You can either drill it yourselves, or ask any front panel shop to do it for you.
Only 8 holes are required, either 3mm through, or tapped M3.
Should be easy enough to DIY if you have the right skills.
You can then proceed to build and test all the modules.
Only final integration is pending the case.

Hi all,
then private issues have had a happy conclusion and i can concentrate on this again.
I will produce the template and send it to all as quickly as i can, my estimate would be to send it out very early Jan 2020 after the festivities.
It will have all mounting holes tapped exactly as the final case so you can use it to build each side with wiring as well.
It will be raw aluminium 3mm thick, that i believe will be adequate and i wont have to wait for weeks for the anodizer and you all can move forward faster as well.

Oh, it is an aluminum plate... I thought that we were talking just about pdf-file and measurements for holes in mm. 😱
Yes can mount pcbs and PSU caps in a structurally rigid structure exactly like final assembly so its just a question of securing in final case, wiring planning in a quality amp like this deserves attention and that takes time.
Like this you can start as soon as funtional tests have been performed on the output boards.
I'm afraid that the heatsink for functional test i will not supply...only with final case.
Be aware that heatsink for functional test has to be as big as final because at stability point temp will be between 45 and 50 ºC so anything smaller will not do, at least if you want to do a long term stability test.
note: ref are Lisbon ambient temp....not valid for northerners....😀

CeeVee, I am not in rush so I can wait for the case. Please take care of your family issues first. About the template, I’m confused. In the event that I get the Template, can you confirm that the case will be drilled and tap in the right positions ?
Thanks
Stefano
Thanks
Stefano
absolutley !
Heatsink has exactly same drilling and tapping as template...that is the objective of the template.
Template is an alu panel exactly same size as heatsink with same drilling.

I don't understand the question .....
They just snap onto the PCB, and you can then just wire up for testing.
The only thing you cannot do is final wiring.
Ceevee is NOT sending you a dummy heatsink.
Just a thin plate to position the MOSFETs exactly relative to the PCB.

I mean how to attach the capacitor boards to the heatsink so that the wiring keeps short? But this is not a real problem. I was just curious about the nice plastic mounting pieces I saw in the build thread.
The PCB part is ofcourse clear.

Will be supplied with the case, but not the template.
