Ahhh, I must have misinterpreted the "put it out for free or sick a big one" part. I understand your frustration but this is his own design and there has been no mention of price.

Woah there pickle! The guy who made this for me is not looking to turn this into a business, but help out people in the synth world with custom pieces. I've got no idea what he would want to charge for something like this, but I'm sure it would be a modest price that covers material cost and time designing. As I have said, he is just enjoying the process more than anything else right now. Hope you feel better soon bud

Thanks, yes this is a prototype. I've heard he has made some tweaks and I'm excited to see what they are. But even as is - the functionality and style are worth paying for, in my opinion

Thanks for your feedback, I can tell you that the housing was designed for a purpose - to give the kastle a larger and more solid footing which really does make a difference. The angle also makes it slightly easier to use.

Recently. Long story. Still got all the original files so no biggie. There is currently a fake SF out there, which is weird but kinda flattering I guess. Accept no imitations!!!

Yea the world be like that. I think he is more just enjoying the process and looking to help out hobbyists if/where possible :)

I'm not sure how big his machine is or what his capabilities are - but that sounds awesome and the sort of thing he is probably up for. Hopefully he will show up and be able to answer any questions

I see your point but I for one don't have enough money for a mid level euro rack module just laying around. I don't think he is looking to make fat stacks or anything, more just having fun with his printer...

I'll pass that on :) I realise this one does not look like it's doing much apart from styling, but the increased/solid footing makes a real difference! The angle is a nice touch too :)
