Francois Dion<p>The little details...</p><p>Added a flying bus to have enough power connectors and left one exposed on the left side of the case. That way I can easily test a module to see how it integrates with the rest, without having to unscrew and unplug one to swap back and forth. I can also easily tap into the power if I want to add an active widget. All I have left to do is make a little cap so no metal comes in and short the power.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/eurorack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eurorack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/modular" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>modular</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/synth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>synth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/studio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>studio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/modules" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>modules</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/synth" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>synth</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/modularsynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>modularsynth</span></a></p>
