Any chance of getting acrylic design file?
Posted on: 10.01.2010 by Sammy Slaybaugh
Is there any chance that DJTT could post/make available whatever CAD file exists for manufacturing the top acrylic? I'm planning on customizing a MidiFighter with some extra analog controls (which means custom acrylic to extend it slightly) and it would be nice to have that as a starting point to make sure the 16 button holes and LED holes line up properly and such. Since hacking the units is encouraged and the hardware/software is open source anyways, hopefully the design file(s) could be also?

Styleflip.com replied to my email and said they would prefer to use a DFX file as well to create custom skins; and that if I sent the .dfx files they could add the Midi Fighter to their lineup of skinnable gear too. Let me know if DJTT is cool with that. I can also forward the message from styleflip.com if DJTT would like to contact them directly?

Are DXF's any help?

While PDFs are a lot better than nothing (thanks!), our machine needs G-code to manufacture a new panel, is it possible to get the original file that was used to create these PDFs so it can be modified, rather than having to re-draw the whole thing in CAD from a PDF reference?

You betcha

There is now a sticky with the design files attached

Cheers
