Potential EUVL F5X designed case user distribution check

[AndrewT]

if you want D shaped holes, then we will offer the milled soluton, and hand file the corners off.

No problem for anyone with a file and a pair of hands.
Ask a neighbour if you can't.

 

[EUVL]

The filing will be done for you, only that it will not be pefect as per wire cut.

Patrick,
will the D-hole be "baseline" or do we have to vote for it on the spreadsheet?
I like it.
Cheers,
Nic

 

[EUVL]

I'll just take whichever option that has the majority vote in the spread sheet, tomorrow morning.

And that would be it.

😉


Patrick

 

[NicMac]

Majority votes on Saturday evening in summertime sucks
The spreadsheet is here, go and vote "Schurter 0031.1081" in the fuseholder column!
Cheers,
Nic

Good morning everyone,

here is the final rear panel configuration :

NKK Switch JWM11RAA,
Automotive 50A relay (voltage to be confirmed),
Schurter 0031.1081 fuse holder, Furutech IEC FI-10 IEC,
10mm holes for speaker terminals,
Neutrik NC3FD-LX-HE XLR sockets,
15VA toroidal transformer 60mm dia. x 30mm height,
M4 for earthing.

We'll proceed to make drawings today.

Sorry about that,
Patrick

 

[johnwmclean]

No problem Patrick, all the best wishes, see you back soon.

 

[johnwmclean]

oneoclock you have a pm, you need to respond quickly. I have to get Mark payment to commence production.

I’ll give you another day.

 

[JBdV]

@John yes I voted for FI 03 (R) plus a specific fuse so that in case the FI 03 (R) doesn't get elected, my vote for the fuse may still get my preffered fuse selected which in that case should be used together with the FI 10 (R).

If the FI 03 (R) wins all votes for the fuse will be useless anyway,
Jan

oneoclock, thanks payments received.

Would all of you check the following panel opening size for me before I make final drawings.
NKK Switch JWM11RAA, SPST, 125V 10A, Black Panel 15.4X24
Automotive 50A relay (voltage to be confirmed), M4 bolt & nut
Schurter 0031.1081 fuse holder 12.7 D-shape
Furutech IEC FI-10 IEC, Panel 20x29
10mm holes for speaker terminals, 10mm hole
Neutrik NC3FD-LX-HE XLR sockets, Panel 24 dia, 19x24 screws
15VA toroidal transformer 60mm dia. x 30mm height, M5 bolt
M4 for earthing. 8mmx90 degree CSK

Thanks,
Mark

 

[johnwmclean]

Mark,
Some more detail just for confirmation,
Schurter 0031.1081 fuse holder 12W x 12.7D D-shape.
Neutrik NC3FD-LX-HE XLR; socket 23.6D, M3 screws 19W x 24D.
Furutech FI-10 IEC, Panel 29W X 20D R2, M3 screws 40.2W.

Will the M4 earthing hole be threaded?

John,
Fuse holder OK
Neutrik - M3 tapped by yourself on socket. M3x90 degree CSK on Panel, 19x24OK
Furutech FI-10 - M3 at 40.2 width OK

90 degree CSK holes will be available on the inside back bracket for GND. M4 SST csk screw and nuts will be provided with the kit. I'm afraid those in USA may be difficult to get metric screws.
Thanks,
Mark

It's a little trickier for us in the US, but it's not too bad. Here are a couple of bolt online bolt stores:

Fastener Express - Socket Head Cap Screws, Metric Screws , Fasteners and Anodized Aluminum for the Hobby Industry.

Bolt Depot - Nuts and Bolts, Screws and Fasteners online

The downpayment is on its way by bank transfer.
The revised drawings will be reviewed by me this weekend, if I find time.
So production will hopefully start some time next week.
We'll try to keep to end of August delivery.
But you should certainly have some music for X'mas.
The test team will get their PCBs & MOSFETs sent within the next days.

Surprisingly, I've also had good luck with my local Ace Hardware (I got to know their fastener inventory and bins better than most of the people who work there!), and McMaster-Carr.
