i measured as 116mm but i am not sure that this is correct since i didnt build my side panels yet. you better measure yourself

I don’t like those screw in side panals as it amkes taking the boxes out for gigs annoying (also you can’T just take one of the machines and go play in the living room). I thought about building a simple version where the machines rest on a lip so you can just plonk the machine on it. Obviously this means the side panels need an adjoining piece of wood but hey.

Yeah, I’m planning on using only 15 mm boards and a fairly less drastic angle. I also want to use the plastic cover.

Anyway, I have some good wood laying around and plenty of free time in early August so I’ll give it a try. If i don’t like, I won’t use them.

I’m using this dirty cheap laptop stand from IKEA. Not a perfect fit but it does the job beautifully.

I’ve reluctantly added vents to my panels. Personally I hate them, but to some they have to be there (I’ve been told they don’t).

Available if you want some

don’t mean to start a war but 60€ for some thin slices of wood is ridiculous. looks neat though. and the wooden side panels are ugly as sin. but meh… i might not be your target audience.

wicked. my RYTM may have to be swapped back in Stockholm, but I have it bookmarked!

They come with a gap for ventilation too, correct?

Little tip for those with wooden cheeks and a wooden desk.
Buy some industrial grade sticky velcro to stop them sliding around all over the place

A small strip on the bottom of the cheeks and then a small strip on the desk and it will be solid as a rock and easily removed from the desk

I used this one:

maybe, I am planning to add a finger-screw option for removing the side panels easily to put elektron devices in bags for gigs, also there will be different colors available. but this is all in future

guga · 2016-01-01T21:26:44.000Z

…spent few hours to hand-cut some plexiglass and make a couple of side-panels for my AR and MM

guga · 2016-02-23T00:09:59.000Z

…made a better version

rvrs.jpg384×582 79 KB

this panels are made out of MDF, they’ve been laser cut so they can also be engraved with logos and whatnot (this will add to the final price). the design needs to be refined a bit and then they will be ready to join the list of all the others already available

i should be able to have a couple of choices for the material and different colors as well. more info to come. in the meantime, if anyone is interested, please do get in touch.
