[sdiy] Diecast enclosure for footswitch board with 12 switches..

[Walker Shurlds]

I'm looking for a diecast aluminum enclosure

to build a footswitch board with 12 pushbutton switches..

I'm looking for something like this:

But BIGGER !

Something like 15"wide x 12"deep x 2"thick max.

A slant top would be fine too.


Hammond enclosures web site has a whole collection of

diecast enclosures but they are all 'boxy' instead

of being flat. When the enclosure is large enough

the thickness is too high for footswitching..


I found some slant enclosures but they are not large

and deep enough and are made of 1/16" thick aluminum (not diecast)

that would bend with many actions on the switches.

Not very reliable..


If anybody has a link on something..

Thanks

​You could use the kinds of chassis people use for guitar amps. Maybe not dicast aluminum though. Something like this: https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/P-H1441-26


Although this one is 16"x8"x2", not 15x12 like you said. There is a 17x10x2 that this site had but it's special order only, whatever that means for them.
