This is SLS Nylon in black (PA12). SLS does have a slightly grainy texture, which I quite like and it’s a durable and accurate material. I’m still in two minds about sanding it a touch and spraying it, but I might run it naked for while and see how it holds up.
For the record, I did need to use some small screws to fix the Pi and Dac to bottom half of the case - it’s easy enough and tiny washers can help as well. The top cover fits nice, but depending on the accuracy of your print you might need to add a sliver of tape inside the edge joins to ensure a snug fit.

That looks super nice! Do you have an SLS printer? If you ordered it from somewhere would you mind letting me know where (and how much it cost?)

Thanks man. I don’t have a printer unfortunately, SLS printers are still very pricey. I’m in London and got mine made at 3dpeople.uk but I think if you shop around in your area I’m sure you’ll have different prices.

Ok, so I had norns.local bookmarked/set to my homepage. I did not realize that my bookmark was actually for an extended web address (http://norns.local/maiden/#edit/dust/audio/tape/0001.wav)
After update, I couldn’t get maiden to load right until I figured this out. If you’re having problems post update with maiden, make sure to re-enter norns.local in your browser’s address bar (not just refresh the page over like I did)

Finally got my display and the parts I mid ordered today. Finished up soldering and got it firing, no sweat. Can’t wait to start to learn about how to use it now, haha.

this is beautitful! I will try and use it for my next build.
Also wanted to say thank you to the community here on lines & @okyeron for the support and the super well documented project - it was a walk in the park to build and set up my fates kit and the pre-soldered boards look

I’m excited for mine to be finished, I’m just waiting for the screen. A question though, does anyone know if there’s a button switch that’s more similar to a traditional norns button? The ones from the BOM have only a small amount of travel, and are much stiffer to press.
Anyone accessing Fates via a Windows machine? I could use some help. I’ve been having to rely on my iPad and on a household Mac for updates, because my Windows 10 laptop isn’t recognizing norns.local or the device’s IP address, neither via the browser nor when attempting to SSH via the terminal.

Swapping the buttons out would likely involve some minor rewiring and perhaps a mounting question or two - since other switches will have a different footprint.
I originally used the switches from Mutables like yarns, but thought the action on the MECs was better.
If you can, the MEC’s with a click end up being fantastic, and I’ve enjoyed using them more than the original norns buttons

It seems there’s something fundamentally wrong with your Windows box, if you can’t connect using norns’ IP address - are you able to connect to any other device on your home network? Could you post any output from SSH? (feel free to PM me a screenshot or some logs)
Fwiw, when I use Windows boxes I rely on PuTTY for SSH and Cyberduck to transfer files:

Doesn’t Windows have an integrated firewall? Could be that.

Thanks okyeron - totally my error! desoldered and resoldered caps back correctly.
Now sounds sweet and pristine!
Thanks. Yeah, it does. I’m likely not un-firewalling something, but so far it’s eluded me.
Thanks, @pfig. My network, such as it is, is just a few computers on the same wifi router. I don’t really have much need to connect devices. I’ll PM you some stuff later. Much appreciated.

Problem solved! I spent 15 minutes with an online “Microsoft advisor,” and the first thing he had me do was uninstall my VPN. I use(d) NordVPN. It wasn’t running (I don’t use NordVPN at home, just out of the house), but even installed it was, somehow, blocking my access. I’m going to reinstall it and see if I can tweak some settings.

I just finished soldering the PCB – all went well, thank you for all your effort and instructions.
I recently ordered an rpi 3b plus from amazon but unfortunately it was broken (constant red light) so I have to send that back. However, whilst troubleshooting the issue I plugged it into an old rpi2 to see what would happen and from what I can see so far it works! I’ll be ordering another rpi 3b plus but for the meantime would there be any issue in using Fates with my rpi2?
