<h3> The RailHead Project</h3> <p>Making professional looking DIY Eurorack case builds is now simpler than ever.</p> <p>If you have a wood case with no rails or you want to build a case - this is probably the perfect solution for you!</p> <h3>NEW: Added L rails and L caps!</h3> <p>Don´t get scared of the amount of the text below. I just tried to tell you everything you needed to know for adding RailHeads to your cases.</p> <p>If you don´t have a 3D printer, a local school, library or a community might be nearby :)<br/> Also I can print it for you, if you want (shipping from the Czech Republic).</p> <p><em>If you have any questions, you can contact me on:<br/> E-Mail: antonin.gazda@gmail.com<br/> Facebook: <a href="http://facebook.com/gazdovic">http://facebook.com/gazdovic</a><br/> or here on Thingiverse</em></p> <p>if you´d like to support me, you can buy the files on<br/> <em><a href="https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/railheads-3d-printed-rails-for-wood-eurorack-cases">https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/railheads-3d-printed-rails-for-wood-eurorack-cases</a></em></p> <p><em>if you want to download files from github: <a href="https://github.com/antoningazda/RailHeads">https://github.com/antoningazda/RailHeads</a></em><br/> Cool, enjoy!</p> <h4>If you don't know exactly what HP means:</h4> <p><em>The width of Eurorack front panels "is measured in HP (HP = horizontal pitch, 1 HP = 5.08 mm or 1/5 inch)." (doepfer.de)</em></p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK2S</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>20%</p> <h3> <strong>Filament:</strong> Prusament PETG Carmine Red Slicing</h3> <p><strong>Orientation</strong></p> <p><div><p>Please print in shown direction.<br/> Rails and Caps laying down.</p> <p>Heads standing up - if needed, add a brim.</p> <h3> Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Cleanup</strong></p> <p><div><p>If you used a brim for Heads, cut it off with an exacto knife.<br/> If you used glue or another adhesive on the build plate, clean it off the prints.</p> <h3> Finally! Adding rails to your case.</h3> <p><strong>Step 1 - Screwing in Rails</strong></p> <p><div><p>Screw in the rails with M2.5 screws. You should leave 2 HPs of space on each side (10.16mm).<br/> You don´t need to screw in all of the holes in the rails. Just 2 or 3 for each rail is fine.</p> <p><strong>Step 2: Sliding on Heads</strong></p> <p><div><p>Slide the Heads on Rails. It should be a pretty tight fit. Use a rubber hammer or another softer thing to slide it on the Rails.<br/> Try to line up the screws in Rails with the holes in the Heads, so you can see it through.</p> <p>The Heads will have the no Rails on 2HPs on every side.</p> <p><strong>Step 3: Adding the Caps</strong></p> <p><div><p>Now put in the square nuts and close it up with the caps.<br/> Pay attention with Lip Caps so you match the right Cap with a head.</p> <ul> <li><p>Left cap means it goes on the top left and bottom right of the rails.</p> <p>Right cap means it goes on the top right and bottom left of the rails.*</p> <h3>Congrats! Enjoy your case.</h3> </li> </ul> <p><strong>If you made it here, your a champ!</strong></p> <p><div><p>Thanks a lot for making it this far. I hope your RailHead build went great.</p> Please add photos of your case in the Makes.<br/> If you´d like to support me, you can tip me on paypal.me/gazdatony</div></p> <p><em>Joined 2 rails at an angle are coming soon</em><br/> and if you have any ideas for improvement, please tell me.</p> <p>Bye,<br/> Tony (Gazda Tóny)</p> </div></p></div></p></div></p></div></p></div></p></p></p> Category: Audio
