StompBox-1PotBox

thingiverse

Stompbox perfect for powering a heaphone amp or any single pot effect unit. Got some extra parts lying around, might just build another few. Reach out if you need something in particular. OpenSCAD files up at https://github.com/mkellner/openscad. Here's what I did to make it look great: Printed the box and foot using 3D printing technology. Wrapped the entire thing with aluminum tape to provide adequate shielding from electromagnetic interference. Took the .dxf file, snapped a screen shot, and then imported that image into Adobe Photoshop. Stretched out the dimensions to fit the box perfectly. Built up the layers for an eye-catching label design, then printed it out on special glossy label media using a high-end laser printer. Once the sticker was in place, added some extra clear protective glaze on top to make sure it lasts longer. Make sure it dries completely. After that, it's standard stompbox assembly fare: wired up the offboard components and connected everything securely to the board. Got a slot for attaching the potentiometer tab right in the middle, plus space for three-pole-double-throw switch and an LED at the bottom. Positioned 1/4-inch jacks on both sides, along with a convenient spot for plugging in your power source. Be mindful of electrical connections to other parts - aluminum shielding or any stray wires might interfere, so cover them up well with tape or similar materials.
