MidiRex Box

thingiverse

It appears that this is a set of instructions for printing and assembling a MIDI controller box using 3D printing technology. Here's a breakdown of the text: **Printing the Top** * Print the top panel with a pause for color change if desired * Use precautions to prevent warping, such as gluestick and a heat lamp * If necessary, use a brim and tape it down with masking tape **Printing the Bottom Lid** * This model is optimized for printing without support * Manual supports are included for the MIDI plug holes * Thin plugs are provided for the indented screw holes; remove them after printing * Clean out all screw holes with a tap drill and body drill * Ream out or drill out button holes to ensure smooth operation **Assembly** * Test buttons in their holes * Test footswitch and DC jacks in their holes * Ream out LED holes if necessary for easy board insertion * Clean out back panel holes using a step drill and regular drill bits * Slot the encoder shaft hole for easier assembly * Consider hardwiring the on/off switch instead of using it **Final Assembly** * Screw the PCB into standoffs with #4 screws * Install panel mount jacks (if using the "Panel Mount" version) * Snap button caps onto buttons * Screw on bottom lid and attach encoder knob
