    ACRYL508 / FIELD NOTES

    Simple parts. Thoughtful details.

    Shape your system around the way you patch. This configurator explores a removable, mechanically assembled GS acrylic enclosure.

    1. Materials for each sheet.Five enclosure panels. The side panels also form the stance and optional handles with rounded hand openings. Use one material throughout or choose a color, transparency and thickness for each sheet. Interlocking slots and tabs follow the adjoining sheet thicknesses. The preview includes aluminium rails and black hardware.
    2. Interlock, then secure.Slide the base, front/rear and custom 1U panel tabs into the closed slots of one side panel. Fit rails in the open module rows, then the second side over the remaining tabs. The rail-end screws retain the sides with load-spreading washers. No glue or extra case-panel screws. To disassemble, support the case, remove the rail screws on one side, and withdraw that side panel.
    3. Find your footing.Choose a flat, 10°, 20° or 30° stance. Flat cases can use integral pads, arches or continuous runners, with adjustable foot height. Each additional row can add its own tilt toward the rear, up to 75° total from the table. Angled rows expand rail spacing at each bend, reshape the side and rear panels, and automatically include integral support feet. Wedge, arch and sled profiles shape the side panels themselves, keeping their contact edges level on the table. Handles extend from the left, right or both side panels; Auto uses a pair above 84 HP or from 6U. Adjust handle width and height; rounded roots blend the grips into the sides. Sled openings use thicker runners and rounded inner corners. Enable the patch cable holder to extend the rear plate with evenly spaced, rounded fingers. Adjust finger height and slit width to suit your cables. Add a patch cable board to either or both side panels: a grid of 4 mm round holes for parking patch plugs, with adjustable width, height and spacing. A handle on the same side sits above the grid. The case stays at five acrylic sheets. Grip strength and loaded stability need prototype validation.
    4. Space to breathe.Choose slits or holes, then layer waves, ripples or organic variation onto their sizes and positions. The pattern editor preserves borders and material between vents, and omits vents near custom cuts. Geometry limits still need prototype validation. The base sits above retaining material, and the side panels extend beyond the end-panel slots. Outer dimensions include these margins; your HP, row spacing and depth above the base stay unchanged.
    5. Power is a considered choice.Sinusoda Juice uses the data-sheet envelope of 226 × 86 × 19 mm and 23 headers. Its 28 mounting holes are estimated from the photograph; verify centres and diameters against your board before drilling. Use at least 14 evenly distributed screws with nylon washers. The preview assumes 5 mm standoffs; check module, cable and electrical clearances. Trolley Bus has 28 horizontal headers, a 423 × 80 mm board and a conservative 435 mm installation envelope from the setup drawing. Its eight photo-estimated screw mounts adapt Befaco’s adhesive mounting method; the two cover screws are excluded. Verify dimensions, fasteners and insulation against your board. CompactPWR uses the manufacturer’s 174 × 79 × 20 mm envelope, 20 headers and four photo-estimated corner mounts. Its separate barrel/switch or USB-C inlet and cabling are not reserved.
    6. Make it yours.Import a filled SVG or add text using a supplied or imported font. Choose an enclosure side, width, rotation and position for each cutout. The outside view shows the finished panel. After all cuts, only the largest piece attached to the original panel perimeter is kept; loose letter centres and other islands are removed, with a warning.
    7. A specification to build on.Export JSON for the complete specification, or download one full-size SVG containing every acrylic sheet as a named vector group. Dimensions describe the enclosure, excluding the integral grip, patch cable board, cable holder, feet and stance extensions. Joint fit, laser kerf, corner relief, screw engagement and loaded retention need prototype testing before fabrication.
