Prep the Enclosure
The enclosure is a 1032L Looper Enclosure from Love My Switches. You'll drill out holes in the enclosure for the various switches and ports. You can print out the .DXF or .SVG drill templates, 3D print the .STL drill templates or use both to guide your drill. More information about the templates are available on the 3D Printing page in this guide.
In addition to the templates, you can use a center punch to help make the drilling easier. For the actual drilling, you can use a hand drill or drill press. You'll want to use a small drill bit for the pilot holes and then a step bit or paddle bits for the larger holes.
Line up the top template with the top of the enclosure. It helps to try and line up the rounded corners.
To make sure the template is straight, you can use a straight edge along the center hole line to make sure its the same distance (about 0.75 inches) from the edge all the way across.
Once you're happy with the placement, use clear packing tape to secure it.
If you're using the 3D printed template as well, you can align it with the holes and use blue tape to hold it down on the edge.
Clamp the enclosure to a flat surface. Use your drill to drill a pilot hole in each of the holes. Then, use a step bit to drill out each hole to the correct size. All of the foot switch holes are 12 mm in diameter. The LED mounting hole is 6.5 mm in diameter.
Take the side drill template and line it up with the back edge of the enclosure. Use clear packing tape to secure it to the enclosure.
Place the 3D printed template on top of the paper one, lining it up with the drill holes. Use painters tape to secure it to the enclosure.
Use a small drill bit to drill the pilot holes. Then use a step drill bit or paddle bit to fully drill the holes. Here are the diameters:
- DC Jack: 12.5 mm
- MIDI Jack: 16 mm
- MIDI Jack screws: 3.2 mm
- USB Panel Mount: 20.8 mm
