The Ultimate Enclosure Layout Thread - post em' up!

[Kevin Mitchell]

I figured we could use a thread designated for sharing and verifying enclosure layouts for our projects! I know many folks can't be bothered to draw up graphics for their DIY pedal builds and are comfortable sticking with ye olde sharpie. Well for those who put in the work for etching, silk screening, toner transfers or even just a drill template I encourage sharing them here! Hell, even a nice enough layout will motivate some of us to actually box up our circuits 

Some ground rules...
If using specific parts to fit your layout please mention so (enclosure type, pot sizes, switch types, etc...)
Make sure we know what it's for! Does it have a name? Is there appropriate documentation for the circuit?
How did/would you apply your graphics? Press n' peel? Silk screen? Etched?
Try to keep the posts relevant. We can discuss measurements, software, media, technique, ect....

Let's see em'!

Here's one I've drawn up this morning. This is for the Neutron circuit (Mu-tron III clone) and uses a 3 position toggle for the mode instead of a rotary switch. I intend to apply the graphics with a silk screen template. I've drawn this up with DIYLC.
Neutron - from Geofex & GGG
125B enclosure
2 16mm pots (24mm might fit too)
2 DPDT toggles
1 DP3T(center on) toggle

Here's another one. It's for the full version of the Engineers Thumb. Should be able to hold most layouts of the circuit. Another one I'll use as a silk screen template but will be great as just a drill template.
125B enclosure
5 16mm pots
1 SPDT toggle

EDIT: Moved the labels below the controls - PDF shows this, the preview is prior

Kevin, your compressor graphic suffers from the same issue seen on many commercial pedals. Once the knobs are fitted, they obscure the labels unless you view directly from above.

Sorry, bugbear of mine - nice thread anyway. May save me from designing my own

Here's one from my latest project, the Hard Bargain distortion pedal.

I had not considered that! See, that's why I think this thread is necessary 
I'll fix it up and update the PDF.

Tom, That is very original! And the circuit is incredibly well documented.
Showing everyone up as usual I see

Here was my Mutron... in a really big enclosure... sorry don't remember the size.

Made 2 of them.. really, really, fun builds!

I never actually used this one, it's the A Somewhat Different Fuzz by Gus Smalley. I was just messing with the way "ASDF" is right there in a row on a typewriter.

Imagine if the buttons were just like that of a typewriter and each button was a preset - similar to the controls on the Boss DC-2.

Neat graphics nevertheless

I think I have a set of radio buttons from an old Grundig console that would work - but there really isn't much to switch on an ASDF. Hmm....
