My Novation Twitch Decksaver with Pics!
My Novation Twitch Decksaver with Pics! Posted on: 03.05.2012 by Ouida Bohnet Hi Guys, So I got sick of waiting for Decksaver to release a lid for the Novation Twitch and I'll be traveling overseas next week (for god knows how long?) so I needed a case ASAP! I know there is a flight case out but why would I get this nice light and compact unit only to shove it in a big arsed heavy case thats twitch the size, seriously it defeats the purpose of buying the thing in the first place!!... Anyway so I decided to make my own, it cost me about $20 Australian and took about 1.5 hours to make. Im not exactly bob the builder so Im sure you guys could do a neater job but it fits perfect and its seriously rock solid! pictures below... IMG_0362.jpgIMG_0358.jpgIMG_0359.jpg The whole thing is surprisingly light! the aluminum brace rests on top of the controller which than leaves a tiny gap of a few millimeters from the knobs and faders so their not actually touching the lid. I would suggest maybe using black perspex instead of clear, I believe i would look neater and more desecrate especially if your gonna silicone the whole thing together instead of just pop rivet it like i did! anyway please feel free to copy (for personal use only!) and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

| Esta Mizikar 22.05.2012 | FYI fellow Twitch owners. Decksaver has finally release the cover for twitch! DJ deals . com has them in stock now! |
| Esta Mizikar 22.05.2012 | Any chance we could get a parts list and measurements of individual pieces for those of us that don't have the tools so we can get pieces cut to size when we purchase it? Thanks! |
| Vernice Freland 16.05.2012 | Looks awesome mate! Love the effort put in, good commitment! |
| Leonora Synstelien 12.05.2012 | I would suggest putting like a thin strip of either felt or foam on the aluminum so that the felt provides a "smoother" edge. Aluminum can kind of do some damage on its own. Overall, GREAT Build! Ingenious, effective, and cheap! |

| Ouida Bohnet 03.05.2012 | Thanks mate, as the idea was to mainly just protect the faders and knobs while keeping the whole thing as light and compact as possible i didnt want a bottom for the case, the way it currently is the only thing exposed are the little feet and the sockets so you can leave everything plugged in while the lid's still on, you could definitely make a bottom half tho and than just cut out holes for the RCA plugs and such.. |
| Brock Ricapito 03.05.2012 | that's... AWESOME. it looks great. but the way I see it, it only covers the top. how do you properly encase it? |
