Ah - should clarify. It does have a lid, just not a lid that you can rack modules in! I was after Oliver making an additional 7U lid, for 14 total.

@kisielk if I may, I was re-reading the specs on your 4U cases after finally ordering the joiners yesterday, and want to revisit this:

Pairs of slots run along the three sides of the case. Each slot is sized to allow for M3 nuts or M3 Hex Head bolts to slide in the space. Perfect for attaching all sorts of interesting accessories and linking together multiple cases (both coming soon!)

Can you elaborate on how this would work? I’m trying to visualize how you would install a bolt and nut in the channels, and position and tighten them sufficiently.

While I’m going to use the joiners for now, I suspect that in the long term, I may want to assemble these as a vertical unit.

If you remove the side cheek of the case, you can slide a nut or threaded strip into the channel just like you would into any other eurorack mounting rail.

I’m looking to upgrade to one of these and fill it out with some mutable modules. seems solid, I love the idea of joining two together.

#36

Thanks.

Yes, I get that, but how would you bolt two cases together, one on top of the other? I don’t see how it can be done securely, i.e., tightening the bolt/nut in two adjoining slots, one on the top of the bottom case, the other on the bottom of the top case.

We managed to do it with some Openbeam pieces on the back channels of the case: http://www.openbeamusa.com

We don’t have an official solution for stacking two cases vertically yet, there hasn’t really been a ton of demand for it. We were kind of hoping that with the channels there on the case people would start devising their own solutions but nobody has really done it yet :slight_smile:

I known @jnoble made some kind of custom end cheeks for his 4U cases, and someone here in Vancouver custom-machined a few simple end pieces that bolt onto the outside of the existing cheeks for vertical stacking.

Interesting stuff.

The end piece solution for vertical stacking sounds easier in a way, if you have machining available; I don’t. I can cut, weld, finish, and do other metalwork, but CAD/machining I can’t easily do.

My local metal supply houses are more on the industrial scale; thank you for the Openbeam suggestion. That’s already led me in fruitful directions. Maker stuff. Makes sense. Didn’t really think about it.

I tend to use a lot of salvaged/recycled wood and metal materials, so off the shelf extrusions aren’t something I typically look at; will do.

This is giving me other ideas.

The Intellijel cases are pretty adaptable. This is mine:

That is simply outstanding!

Great work.

Aren’t the Quadratts a thing of beauty? I too have an almost empty 1U row, save for a Quadratt. Essential.

I’m saving space for those forthcoming new 1U modules.

Thanks! I’m actually not super happy with my position locking solution and will probably re-make everything soon. It will look similar to my old cases.

They are very versatile, I might add a fourth(!)

Oh? Has there been an announcement somewhere? I would love to see a simple LFO, a headphone amp, and a “keyboard”/ribbon controller in 1U. The latter is an obvious fit for the format with a 200mm Softpot.

#42

I’m excited to see what Intellijel will do with the 1U space. Currently have a Quadratt, passive multiple and USB (powers Korg SQ1) up there. Hoping for a headphone out and maybe a clock divider?

This is what I’m thinking so far. I currently own everything up to the GrandPa.

This is where I’ll be when my teletype and expanders arrive. Oh, and when I get the Radio Music built. :smiley:

The switch modules are passive SPDT center off flat handle toggles. I use them constantly. My single biggest issue right now is the lack of an onboard headphone amp–I have an OPA2134 waiting for me on the bench for my upcoming headphone amp tile.

The I/O tile is great. I hope a future edition has a header to link a headphone amp.

Four new 1U modules are now shipping:

fyi, my 4u from intllijel has been great! lovely feel, good depth for most modules, plenty of power. the quadratt is wonderful, the i/o clean. and kudos for the full-length silicon feet/bumpers.

now, buy another one, or go to the 7u?

#46

Funny enough, I happened to check your site about an hour before you posted, and saw these.

Ordering those headphone amps on the double!

Is the $69 price for the headphone amp a typo?

#48

I don’t think so, why?

great stuff, especially the noise tools. would love to see a dual vca or logic 1u one day.

#50

i can vouch for the make noise cv bus case. beautiful construction, not too deep, but deep enough for all ive thrown in it, enough power for more than what most things can throw at it and, because its thought of as a professional, travelling case, kind of a step above and beyond in components and electrical continuity. I know its designed to have a lot thrown at it, which makes me feel more secure on screwing something up or breaking something. looks beautiful filled up too… my little skiff below that is also a make noise, and again, very nice electrical support and security.

we’ll definitely consider doing both :slight_smile:
