I’m kind of half way there. Unfortunately, the pisound won’t fit into the drilled enclosure as I thought. I had to cut the 1/4” drilled holes to fit the board into the box. Not ideal. The drill guide I made works fine otherwise, and I was able to mount the pisound easily. I need to pick up a larger drill bit to drill usb and midi holes yet.
Also WiFi doesn’t work right now. I think once I drill the midi/usb holes I should get signal. Hopefully.
I will post a full message with details and drilling pdf when I complete it. Busy with other things right now, but should get to this in the next week or two.
so, I managed to get this finished, but somewhere along the line, i totally screwed up the dimensions/ drilling guide. In the end, I just drilled and cut out big holes by hand, so everything except the pisound board holes on the top of the box came out screwy.
Drilling guide attached (pdf and ai), but it is not accurate for the side measurements. if you must use this to drill, use the enclosure top guide only.
I had to use slightly shorter standoffs as well. the large hole you see below allows the rpi3 onboard wifi signal to radiate out of the box too, which is cool.
Overall, i would say there is a nice potential for a robust utilitarian enclosure here, but it would need to be professionally cut. it’s very hard to drill these boxes accurately by hand.
