PO Eurorack Mounts (experimental)

prusaprinters

<p>4 options to mount the pocket operator case (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1375818">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1375818</a>) in a eurorack.</p> <p>Module height: 3U<br/> Module width: 16HP (Option 1-3), 18HP (Option 4)</p> <ol> <li>Case_Front_full_v6_mic_eurorack_v1_rotated<br/> Version 1 has the PO protruding from the rack with access to the audio jack connectors. The mounting plate creates an overhang and will need support for printing, this may be problematic. Could be improved by a more sophisticated design of the mounting plate.<br/> Note: This replaces the standard front plate, all other parts can be downloaded from the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1375818">PO case</a>.</li> </ol> <ol> <li>Case_Front_full_v6_mic_eurorack_v2_rotated<br/> Version 2 has the PO recessed in the rack, there are 2 small cutouts for the audio cables. This should print without problems as there is no overhang.<br/> Note: This replaces the standard front plate, all other parts can be downloaded from the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1375818">PO case</a>.</li> </ol> <p>5.<strong>Update 1</strong> Case_Back_full_v5_eurorack<br/> Added another option where the backplate is mounted on the eurorack and a normal frontplate can be used. May be difficult to install the frontplate because the backplate will not bend as easily as the normal one. Should print fine, no overhangs.<br/> Note: This replaces the standard back plate, all other parts can be downloaded from the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1375818">PO case</a>.</p> <p>7.<strong>Update 2</strong> Case_v6_eurorack_clip_rotated<br/> Added an option to simply clip in the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1375818">standard printed case</a>. This will likely need some testing and tweaking to work smoothly. Currently untested. Should print fine, no overhangs.<strong>Test result:</strong> Prints ok but is too flexible to hold the PO case securely. I will post an updated version soon.<br/> Feedback is appreciated:</p> <ul> <li>Which version is more practical?</li> <li>Is the module width ok or should it be wider?</li> <li>How does it fit on the rack? (I don't have a rack to try it myself)</li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: pocket operator, teenage engineering</p> <h3>Category: Audio Summary</h3> <p>4 options to mount the pocket operator case (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1375818">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1375818</a>) in a eurorack.</p> <p>Module height: 3U<br/> Module width: 16HP (Option 1-3), 18HP (Option 4)</p> <ol> <li>Case_Front_full_v6_mic_eurorack_v1_rotated<br/> Version 1 has the PO protruding from the rack with access to the audio jack connectors.
