Mutant Hot Glue
Some pics of the virgin PCBs. These are not official build notes. Just my personal doodlings to help trouble shoot if I encounter any probs.
The upper PCB has the jacks, pots etc that fit into the front panel
The
Hexinverter Hot Glue was once available as a DIY product, in PCB+panel format, as
well as full eurorack kits.
It might still be available. Anyway, here's the DIY project information for
building it.
DIY RESOURCES
Resistors & IC sockets
The THAT4301 Dynamics Engine & THAT 2180 VCA are rare.
Almost impossible to find.
Purchased The 4301on ebay - about $70AUD
Some words of warning about DIY builders :-)
I needed to drill some holes into the panel as some of the pots had thick shafts.
I decided to try soldering some pots and a few jacks just to test the height.
The electro caps esp the 10UF need to fit under the panel.
The build notes suggest they be less than 12mm height.
These are the headers that join the two PCBs
100nf caps monolithic ceramic x18
22pf ceramic caps
47nf polyester
| PCB-mount 10kB (linear) pot |
| PCB-mount 50kA [or 100kA] (audio) pot |
| PCB-mount 100kB (linear) pot |

The electro caps are quite tall so I soldered them thus to fit under the panel. Watch for shorts.
Finally arrived from Mouser.
Took 38 weeks :-) I'm sure it will be worth it.

TL072 op amps
IC3, IC5, IC10, IC11, IC12, IC15, IC4, IC16, IC17, IC19

The rest are 071 opamps
We are almost there.
