Subject: Re: PRO-2000 panel for MOTM (opinions)

your panel looks pretty good. all jack diameters are 3/8", your panel
dimensions are good (3.485 x 8.735). a thickness of 3mm is just about
right to match motm panels. i didnt measure the locations of all hole
positions for motm grid "compliance".

your concern about a screw or washer under the screw blocking the text
is legitimate. you might consider placing your text somewhere else.
maybe center your auxes and gates?

one criticism: you are basically using an entire additional 1u for
dedicated mults from your 2000. i would suggest you redesign your
panel for 1u and just mult your outputs if you need them. as much as
i know about the 2000, you should only need 11 jacks. use the extra
room on the 1u to make a 4x mult?

one more thing: the 0.4 diameter tool with in-fill will sometimes
cause letters to bleed between each other. consider using the 0.2
tool, which looks really clean. or if you still want 0.4, dont
infill, but just let the raw aluminum provide the color. (ive used
the 0.2 with infill and it looks really clean--pics:
