Rclark,

Most people don't know or can't remember my first name. They call me Kraemer

And I get Seinfeld jokes all the time!

I wil be returning the standard connectors i purchased because i ordered nicer connectors from Parts Conn. Got a Cardas XLR, WBT posts and a Furutech IEC.

Ummh... Why? Do they really look that much better?

[Rclark]

I think it's a good choice. You wouldn't want a $500 blinged out case to have cheapo connectors. Unless you were shooting for irony.

[AluminatiSound]

The people I'm making cases, asked for them. The extra cost was added to the case total.

I'm not saying one way or another if they sound better, but the Cardas, Furutech and WBT parts generally have higher copper content in the brass as well as higher quality gold plating compared to typical Chinese budget hardware.

As Rclark pointed out, the hardware choice is more in line with an exotic custom HQ CNC machined enclosure, and should the owners want to sell them in the future, will only help make a quick sale at the highest possible price.

A nice case, needs to be nice all around.

Man I wish I would've gotten in on this buy.  Let me know next time you are making something, I really like your case designs and I am going to be possibly looking at an Ncore build soon.

I just talked with my boss and he is all in for another set of cases. Sounds stupid but i have to ask him, if these get in the way of current work load, we can't do em.

But we are getting into the slow months. So plenty of time to make some cases.

A video of my machine making some feet

Awesome!

You don't mention the name of your "machine". Please reassure me it's not "skynet".

Hahaha

It's a Haas VF2 SS

I'm surprised you didn't go for spikes of some sort (for feet). Those would be hard to make?

[AluminatiSound]

They would take longer and i've never liked the look of spikes.

I made these for my first table (TT~1) and eventually make fixed round feet for it.

Matt

[Rclark]

No it's kind of refreshing. Everyone does spikes. I'll be doing spikes.

I am somewhat unfamiliar with delrin for feet, is this something that is commonly used? i always figured that delrin was a hardish plastic of sorts.

I use it a lot. Not many people use it as feet. A medium plastic hardness. Nylon is harder.

Matt

[Rclark]

Not that it's necessarily that important here, but the purpose of the feet is to minimize or dampen vibrations.. You don't have something rubber or the like to attach to those? That's what I thought you were doing.

The delrin feet i made will be just fine

If not it's very to make new ones with different material.

Is that what your modal analysis said?   

[Rclark]

Like I said, not that it's even needed here. Besides, I don't need to do an analysis, that's what you're here for.
