So, I guess you’ll give all this info when you’re ready to offer the case for sale, but here is what I’d need to know :

  • Are you going to offer a built-in power supply?
  • What is the depth inside the “main” case, including and / or excluding the power system?
  • The plywood looks quite sturdy, what about the weight ?
  • When it’s finished, are you planning to offer the design “as is”, or would it be possible to get it without the handle and / or the lid (for people who travel with flight cases anyway)?

…I do not need the answers right now, I understand that you’re still in the design phase! But when you can answer this will be appreciated.
Anyway, good luck with this case, as I’ve said above it looks good already!

i really like the look of this set up, is that a moog skiff?
i am considering down sizing my 6U 114 to allow me to focus more on discrete modules rather than my current kid in a sweet shop a module for every function approach that i currently have. Thinking along the lines of what you have here but with a 1010 bitbox in place of the ER301

Ahhh slinkyverbs, or diy-springs in whatever form is fantastically fun and wonderful!

Beautiful. I was just recently thinking about putting tt and er301 into the cell48 as a performance setup. Plus grid… so compact and so powerful!

possible to share photos or modulargrid links?
ps how did you even plan them?

I think like others rearrangement is half the fun.

One is pretty much the base unit that is always in the mix.

Two are 2U and are rather focused.

The current setup is here.

Telegrid is the one I always have handy. But as @scanner_darkly pointed out, building a small special purpose one is a lot of fun so these change pretty quickly. As I said in my original post, and he said, having 2-3 that you can repurpose is kinda the point.

The reason I want to ‘lift’ one is because my desk isn’t deep so if I’m at the computer I want two tiers - a 2u below and a 1u above probably. Going to experiment with that this weekend.

Got a big ole care package from the US…

Lots of goodies in there.

Kind of bummed I have to wake up at 3am for a flight tomorrow morning, otherwise I’d start assembling stuff.

Thanks for the kind words! You’re right that the case is still in development and so the below isn’t set in stone, but where I’m currently at:

Are you going to offer a built-in power supply?

I’m investigating the possibility of powering the case with a battery, making for an ultra-portable setup. Up to this point I’ve been designing with a power module and external adapter in mind, in order to keep the case as small as possible and help it to run cool.

What is the depth inside the “main” case, including and / or excluding the power system?

2.5", but I want to try a slightly deeper case for the next prototype.

The plywood looks quite sturdy, what about the weight ?

Yeah the plywood is strong, I’m using it to get the best trade-off between strength and weight. Filled with modules mine is about 11lbs/5kgs, which is significantly lighter than other cases I’ve used – about a quarter of the weight. It’s made it so much easier to walk about with the case and take it wherever I need to go on foot, and also the size of it means its been much more manageable on planes/trains.

When it’s finished, are you planning to offer the design “as is”, or would it be possible to get it without the handle and / or the lid (for people who travel with flight cases anyway)?

I’m absolutely up for offering customised designs – I’m already thinking about left-handed and right-handed versions, different lids, different finishes, and a few more things I’m not able to talk about yet. But yes, I’d be happy to make simple custom alterations!
