[QUOTE="Marcus Venturi, post: 985360, member: 121570"] @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/mediacowboy.123921/']mediacowboy[/URL]: All my paintings are added in the ZIP-file at the end of the first thread. The rest is in my head, which I can't share. :) I started this by painting some sketches on a paper and verified it again and again against the dimensions of the parts I wanted to integrate. Then I started constructing a case with the front-panel design software. That's all. One possibility to check a design would be to build a prototype with balsa wood, just to see if everything fits. Setting up a case as mine is no cheap thing, mine costed approx. 700€. So in most cases one should first look if something existing can be somehow redesigned to fit one's needs - as I did in the first step. If you then come to the conclusion that you want an all inclusive case (amp, speaker switches, display etc.) that should be as small as possible then you should try doing something on your own - as I finally did. @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/tommysharp.29262/']TommySharp[/URL]: Perhaps someone in the forum with more time than me and some experience with 3D construction software could start this.
