Hi messag for grit - who? offered 3D printer  parts ? (seem to recall)
(was this the guy asking for a ex800 button to copy?)

this is offtopic - it's about Yamaha RX5 sound cartridges he proposes to make.
(there's a great project for rx5, modding a cartridge to load custom sounds
via USB...)

>look pretty d*mn good :) (even if it's only a graphic ! )

Retrokits RX608 (606/808) RX5 box by grit on Shapeways

 

Yes, still here and I'm still also keeping a lookout for a EX800 to measure the buttons but haven't seen them come by on the 'regular channels'

Retrokits is a great name, spot on.
(is this the gligli cartridge mod? can it have USB? XD )

This is somewhat similar, but I've taken out the part of the embedded teensy because I wanted to keep the cartridge in traditional format. I changed the circuit somewhat so the memory can be flashed later on from the cartridge connector.

well that's a very cool mod project by gligli, and presented
with own editor/converter, you can't ask for more :) (-you
could do the carts add-on  ready, and sell teensy kits afterwards..)

just a thought (soz for ongoing offtopic..) :
could you not  'print' the cartridge as a metal mould instead?
this is one of the expnsv  parts  of  manufacturing  process;

then do vacuform locally with..?polyprop' or whatever it is.
you can do limited runs more easily that way.(you could even 
carve  your mould out of MDF  :p  ..)
or is that what you're doing  anyway? thinking of printer, doing 
carts 1x1 :) ...

n-e-weh.. i'll definitely have one please if i can be less skint in
time for production, and i've a friend  who'll jump on it too
-> he has *the*original*rare*808*cart*

what the RX5 lacks is thin hihats, so this is just the ticket.
wow exciting 
(hey shouldnt this be on yamblackboxes...)

Hey Mike,
