Tayda 1590B Mock-Up Enclosure

Some people in r/diypedals asked that I share my mock-up enclosure, so here it is! It's modelled after the Tayda version of the 1590B, which has slight measurement variations from the specs listed by Hammond. 

This one has holes prepositioned exactly where I designed them to be on my pcb, with a 3 pot configuration, pcb mounted 9V jack, ¼" jacks on either side, and a stomps switch with an LED hole above and beside it. I encourage you to use this as inspiration to test build you pedals, but generally a metal enclosure should be used in your final build. You can test fit, use as a solder jig, and even probably test play it! Just beware that you'll probably have some noise from the lack of grounding to the enclosure.

I've also included a “snap shell” which is effectively a drill guide, locating hole centres for marking with a centre punch on your metal enclosure. My first print worked perfectly, despite some pretty aggressive print settings, snuggly fitting the enclosure and made marking easy. The holes reference wherever you align the holes on the mock-up enclosure. I'd love to hear your feedback and hopefully I can update you very soon and upload any revisions! 

Pictured is a mock-up with a slightly modified swiss-cheesed model to reduce print time and filament consumption. The dimensions of the enclosure are unchanged. I learned that this swiss-cheese concept is not ideal since the first layer can fail, hence why I didn't upload it. 

There's also the back cover if you need it. Looking forward to your feedback, enjoy!

*This CAD file is my work, with measurements taken from a purchased 1590B enclosure from Tayda. The snap shell is my creation derived from the enclosure. I highly encourage the community to enjoy, adapt, and use these files to your hearts content, just please don't sell them, and I'd appreciate attribution if you share or remix. CC BY-NC
