In this video I show you how I built my own Eurorack case. I've tried to be as informative as possible without making it too long winded. If you have any questions about the process or anything else, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try to answer to the best of my knowledge.
The Build of Materials for the electronic parts I used can be found here:

I based my design on Bastl Instruments Rumburack 2.0: www.bastl-instruments.com/modu...

I love this case! Especially the way it sets up when you're ready to play the synth. Quick moment of concern though. The T-nuts you use for the stand offs on the power strips are made to be threaded through a hole from the other side of the wood. You could probably get away with the way you used them if you glued them in the holes. If not they can come loose and let the power strips bang around in the case causing damage. Just thought I would point this out so no one uses them this way and has it damage expensive modules.

Very nice and inspiring! Great work. I've wanted to make an ARP 2600 style case for my ASYS modular for ages. Didn't know Clicks & Clocks were still in business!

Alberto J. González thanks! That's certainly a cool idea :). Let me know how it turns out!

@wickeddubz 5 лет назад

Nice idea and build! Oh, i wish i had funds and time to get myself modular synth, DIY case with butterfly locks is one of options I will consider for my own project. These small nuts that you hammered into the wood are called T-nuts .

Great video, very clear walkthrough of what you did! I'm about to embark on a DIY journey and everything points in the direction of a Meanwell power supply. One thing I'm wondering is if your system has had any issues with -12V draw. The Meanwell RT65 is supposed to deliver only 500mA at -12V , where my ModularGrid 6U sketch would draw 750mA at -12V. I can imagine your 9U system would draw even more at -12V. Curious to know if you have had to add another power supply!

@graysonschiller3288 3 года назад

This video is so great, thank you! Also fun fact about fuses, they blow out when it exceeds the current rating, so seems like you had a good fuse, or at least a working one lol. Anyway love the style of this case

@Davemech 3 года назад

Haha yeah that was indeed what happened :) thanks for watching!

@bzilla4000 6 лет назад

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking into making a case with a Meanwell rt-65. Do you have a BOM you could share for all the parts you used?

@Davemech 6 лет назад

Cluckmuck thanks! The Bom for the electronic parts is in the description :)

@bzilla4000 6 лет назад

🤦Thank you sir!

@rohanjoseph101 6 лет назад

Fantastic idea and great execution :) Must feel great to use something you built yourself! Can you share the measurements? Do you own the Rumburack - is that how you measured it? I don't see them listed on the bastl instruments website. Where can I find them?

@adriankohres5623 5 лет назад

Hey Dave! Going to enter the modular highway too now. What genre are you aiming with your modular setup? It's on the techno'ish side right? Could you recommend modules? Thank you for your great videos!

@Davemech 5 лет назад

Hi Adge, thanks for watching! I decided some time ago to leave the modular world for now to focus on my live setup. Check out milar melodies for a great techno modular setup :)

@JSchuurman 3 года назад

super cool, thanks for this! Question, how heavy is the unit before adding modules and after? Also, I don't suppose you have any plans you could share for the construction?

@Davemech 3 года назад

There's a BOM doc linked in the description :) The actual drawings I have no more. But I simply scaled the case this design was based on :). It was pretty heavy. In hindsight I would've chose 9mm thick wood instead of 12mm. I think empty it already weighted 10kg or so.

@justingaylord9639 5 лет назад

I can't seem to find any info online in regards to affixing the Mean Well supplies to the case. Does it sit on standoffs as well or screw into the wood?

@Davemech 5 лет назад

You can just mount it with screws. It's enough when you place it in a corner. It has a couple of holes on the sides to make sure it stays in place.

@tokamu 2 года назад

This video was really useful! I'm building my DIY case and will probably get the Meanwell power supply/bus as well. But I've read online that it has noise and humming issues if you don't use all of its power, is that true? I'm using aprox. 12-15 modules, so I wouldn't even exceed half of its consumption. I'm finding it really hard to decide what power supply to choose, since all of the info I find around are really confusing. Thanks!

@Davemech 2 года назад

It's fine :) I had no noise issues at all. It's a very commonly used power supply for diy modular cases. Enjoy the build!

great build! Can you make available the BOM in a place different than scribd? How many mm has the plywood you are using? Cheers and thanks for sharing your project

@Davemech 3 года назад

12mm , but i would recommend 9mm :) happy to share, cheers!

@EmileHoogenhoutbehr 5 лет назад

Hey there, great job on the rack. Wanted to ask what PSU and rails you bought and where you bought them. Thanks so much and keep up the great work.

@Davemech 5 лет назад

Hi Emile, the BoM for the electronic parts can be found in the description of the video :)

@EmileHoogenhoutbehr 5 лет назад

Hey there Dave, my apologies. I did not see the details in the description. I know this might be quite forward but is there any way you could share the dimensions of your design of your case as it seems like a perfect option for me, as I also travel quite a lot. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for a fantastic video and have a great day.

@Davemech 5 лет назад

@@EmileHoogenhoutbehr I'll measure the case when I'm back in the studio this week. No problem. I drew it out on paper but changed some things slightly along the way.

@EmileHoogenhoutbehr 5 лет назад

Thank you so much that would be amazing. Thank you again, so much Dave!!

@EmileHoogenhoutbehr 5 лет назад

Hey there Dave sorry for bugging you. I just wanted to follow up on if you could share the measurements of your case as it would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all your help my brother.

@cloeten93 4 года назад

Hey Dave, hoe heb je de stroom berekend?Via modulargrid? En waar heb je die besteld? Is het een gewone meanwell psu ? En de bus boards? En waar heb je de rails besteld? Mega vette case !!! Super nice

@Davemech 4 года назад

Yo dank! Staat allemaal in de BoM, zie discription :)

@jamiesmith1776 6 лет назад

Hi Dave would it be possible for you to provide a diagram so I can request the DYI store to cut the wood to size?

@Davemech 6 лет назад

Jamie Smith hi Jamie I literally only drew it out on paper. I could send you some pictures of it, but my advise would be to double check everything :) I might have adjusted things a tiny bit along the way while assembling.
