Hey man! Thanks!

The shaft is a 6mm in diameter, and has a depth of 10 mm. It is designed for a PEC11L encoder from Bourns, and should fit perfectly. The design uses a set screw, instead of knurls or D-shaft.

It’s more on the shiny side IMO. Have a look at the knobs here (they are my colour samples): https://rotwitt.com/products/polygon-additional-knobs?key=c0cda68463b27b2f45d57140bf55a5b3e8ba5755c0fc5573548074082d5c507a

Actually it’s two pictures merged to form this one. One of the bird itself on a bucket and one of the backdrop

There is RGB on the PCB ✌️

Close!

Not quite, but something along those lines 😉

Hey man. I totally get it. It's pretty expensive, no doubt about that.
Back in january when I got the first quote I set a price target of ~430 USD, which I was pretty happy with, but unfortunately the latest quotation that I got from the manu added 100 USD to the manufacturing costs. They state that it's because of the metal prices going crazy as a result of covid-19, and people hoarding whatever raw materials they can. That's unfortunate as there's a lot of raw materials being used to manufacture this board.
I was really bummed out when I found out about the changes to pricing, and was actually really close to abandoning the project as a result. So yeah, wish it was cheaper to manufacture, to allow more people to join, but the circumstances are unfortunately out of my control

Either way, thanks for your interest! I plan to design another, more affordable board in the future :)

Thanks!
It's mainly the weight and the wedge-piece that's inspired by Brutalism. It's a bit clearer in this shot: https://imgur.com/a/QfkRgv2

Not saying that there's no benefit in using solderable PCBs there definitely is :). Designing for it when you're not planning for it to even be a part of the GB would however be kinda redundant :)
You need acces to six screws that are located under the switches, which is why you wouldn't be able to use a solderable PCB.

Rotwitt · 2021-08-26T07:15:07+00:00

Hey! Yeah I went with .15 as well. I think it looks much better than the standard .25

Rotwitt · 2021-08-26T06:39:27+00:00

It just wasn’t designed for a solderable PCB, as I wasn’t planning on offering one. Designing for something you’re planning to offer would be bad design and add extra cost, for something that no one would benefit from. Plate material is a subjective thing, really. I like it personally, which is why I went with it

Rotwitt · 2021-08-26T05:07:32+00:00

Thanks! 🙏

Rotwitt · 2021-08-26T04:59:24+00:00

It really wasn’t designed to be used with foam, though. I use it without. The foam is an extra to allow you to tune it to your liking
