MAKING A CABINET
Your Macchiato wants a cabinet and you have some options: make a cabinet from a cereal box or
cardstock from the craft store, or get a plastic cabinet kit from Zeppelin Design Labs. In the future we
will publish CAD models that you can download and use to 3D-print your own case. To stay informed,
sign up for our newsletter at www.zeppelindesignlabs.com.
CARDSTOCK CABINET
Your synth includes a template for making a nifty cardstock cabinet. If you need an extra copy, you can
download it from www.zeppelindesignlabs.com, but you will need to print it on 11x17 (A4) paper. Be
sure the template prints to 100% full size! Compare the scale on the template to an actual ruler.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
1. Straightedge
2. X-Acto knife or other sharp hobby knife
3. Sharp scissors
4. Rubber cement
5. Two push pins or thumbtacks
6. Some large paper clips or small binder clips
7. Cereal box or cardstock. If you go to the craft store for cardstock, choose something with these
properties:
•
It must be minimum 10" x 10" (25 x 25 cm)
•
It must be at least as stiff as a cereal box, no thinner! Look for 80-100 lb cover stock.
•
The face must be smooth enough to hold the vinyl sticker.
•
The paper must not conduct electricity! Many fancy papers include conductive metallic glitter
or mylar film. If unsure, bring your ohm meter in to the craft shop with you and test!
Let's Begin!
1. Rough-cut the Template, leaving a small margin all around (2).
