Wires or no, it still looks great.

Not sure if it's your intention, but the name is bringing up memories on midnight showings of "Heavy Metal" at the local theater when I was a kid! Great build Rej! It's been long enough since you've done that style of enclosure engraving that I forgot about it. Very cool!

Is that an etch? Please tell how you did this! I love it.

Btw, thanks for the resistors, Rej! I got em last week.
I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

Glad that they made their way :)

I use my dremel with metal cutting wheel, it's all about the grind!

So cool!  Looks like it came off an alien's pedal board.  8)

Rej,

AWESOME work. I guess I should put my dremel away now and stick to the buffing wheel...

A side question if you don't mind?, where did you get that bezel for that large of an LED (8mm?)

Hmmm... i remember that a while ago, Juansolo had use some for a built and it ended that couple guys bought some from him, some sort of mini groupbuy for giant bezels.

Don't remember where he was sourcing them.

It'll have been either Farnell (Newark) or Rapid. Can't remember which, it was a while back. They are MAHOOSIVE.

Simply awesome Rej. How labor intensive was it? The outcome is great.

I also have some 10mm LEDs and bezels I bought but have not put them to use.. one day.. one day.

Thanks Cody :)

This is my generic enclosure for the CleanBoost that i sell so i'm used to make them.

I usually do them in batch of 5, because it how long a Dremel blade will last, maximum  5 minutes per enclosure... the first i ever did took me 30minutes i beleive i was so overlooking everything.... with time i've learned to just do them with the flow, hardest/fastest beating i can give them without busting the blade. Because that happened couple time.

If you try this at home (lol), wear safety goggles and wear kevlar fiber gloves, you never know when the blade will gripe and run on your hand (don't ask me why i know).

And it might not be a good idea to do this where you have wood saw dust and the like.... it's grinding metal after all. ;)
