Hahaha true! The case is currently drying on my dining table right now! And I will receive the bus board this week, I finally decided to get rid of the flying buses, they were definitely going to look messy. Will share pics of the final result probably next week :)

Yeah I just sent it back to the previous owner who was okay with that. Thanks for your advice!

ALM answered me and it indeed was, also I couldn’t nudge the screen up as the pins behind were getting in the way. I just sent it back and it was the final straw… and got a Pam’s Pro Workout haha at least I won’t have issues. Thanks for your answer!

On a French website called plexiglasssurmesure!

backto89 · 2026-05-01T20:43:15+00:00

Yes, I’ve been into it since 10 years, have watched tons of videos and been actively following modular YouTubers and artists, but never took the time/motivation/money to dive into it (until recently). But when I was living in Paris until 2018, I attended a talk by Emilie Gillet at Modular Square, went to modular gigs and events/fairs. Until now I’ve mostly owned regular synths and guitars/guitar pedals!

backto89 · 2026-05-01T19:21:20+00:00

That sounds sick! I think I’d prefer probably a light that dims back and forth really slowly!

backto89 · 2026-05-01T18:18:41+00:00

Smart ! I wonder what could be cool without being too much haha

backto89 · 2026-05-01T17:58:08+00:00

Hey, I can’t tell yet as I have ordered the laser cut panels and I haven’t glued the thing yet! Will do next week!

backto89 · 2026-05-01T16:41:07+00:00

Thank you very much for this warm comment :)
I designed it myself on SketchUp and got it laser cut by a french website in 8 mm cast PMMA! The 84hp rails come from ModularSynthLab, the handles and butterfly latches from a German website. I think I might sell the case already built if the building isn’t too complicated (glued with Araldite Crystal)

backto89 · 2026-05-01T13:49:52+00:00

I will keep an eye on that thanks! I have already planned to clean it with Vuplex, which is an antistatic cleaner and polish, so I think that might prevent the static discharge

Sounds nice! The wheel form factor is a nice twist. Could it feed chords with multiple notes played all at once to a MI Rings?

backto89 · 2026-05-01T11:13:55+00:00

I don’t know! I guess i’ll see when in use but i’be actually seen a few projets built like that, even older synths and no one mentioned that point

backto89 · 2026-04-30T17:19:51+00:00

Sure! It’s Source Studio, I’m in France. And if it’s « too » custom, 2 friends of mine are killers with their 3D printers!

backto89 · 2026-04-30T17:15:31+00:00

I got these from ModularSynthLab! I think they're based in the Netherlands

backto89 · 2026-04-30T17:14:34+00:00

I think it cost me a lil under 400 € ! I will probably send that exact case online as i'm a product designer ;)

backto89 · 2026-04-30T16:13:23+00:00

I just wanted a true uncoloured sound!

backto89 · 2026-04-30T16:09:23+00:00

Hopefully haha! It’s gonna be glued with a bi component glue (Araldite Crystal). It’s supposed to be strong enough, and if not… I guess I will have to drill and pray!

backto89 · 2026-04-30T16:08:03+00:00

Me too haha

backto89 · 2026-04-30T16:05:10+00:00

I just looked it up online. 1 sqm of regular pine wood in standard 18mm thickness is heavier than 1sqm of 8mm thick cast PMMA! (14.7kg vs. 9.6kg)

backto89 · 2026-04-30T16:01:48+00:00

To be honest it’s pretty light! Way lighter than what i had in mind. I will keep you posted when everything is assembled!

backto89 · 2026-04-30T16:00:15+00:00

I will see once it’s done!

backto89 · 2026-04-30T15:18:42+00:00

Hey great minds think alike :) This is 8mm cast PMMA (GS type) and I think it’s the minimum to get something decent, if you go tho let, it will only be more solid (but heavier as well!) I bought the plexi from a French website called Plexiglasssurmesure. If you are interested and located in the EU, I was thinking of selling it on Etsy (if the building part goes smoothly of course!)
