I got a response. That was fast!Looks pretty slick. Yes, the expression knob would be even better, but that wouldn’t be hard to add once you have the housing. Just drill a couple of holes and wire up the pot and an extra TRS jack. Looks like there’s room (image attached).
I emailed the manufacturer, asking (1) if they could be mounted on either side of the FC (2) how they attach and (3) whether they’re available in the US. I’ll post when I hear anything.
Hey Andrew, they can be mounted most easily with velcro. Either side of the controller works. We currently don’t ship to the US but are working on it! Will let you know when we are able to...
Hammond enclosure I’m guessing from the picture and knowledge that they will cut holes for you at a price. Why don’t you draw round your FC with the end cap off to get dimensions that are “close”I've ordered 3 enclosures I've found online that are close, but not the same size as the FC's angles. Total for all 3 were right at $100, but only because one is about $40, with the others less than $30. The company also offers custom manufacturing & I might reach out to them to see if they'd make an enclosure of similar angles as the FC.
I'll report more when I receive the enclosures.
Has anyone gotten measurements of the FCs dimensions (not the OVERALL LxWxH), but the measurements of the angles of the slopes, the lengths of the slopes, etc. The "profile" from the side . . . w/o the end cap.
I went with these as a temporary housing as I bought all the parts to build an extension . . . but didn't realize how few 3D printers could actually handle the dimensions of a FC sized enclosure.

Looks quite similar to the DIY design I did last year, minus adding an expression knob
they need to take the rubber end cap off though and move it to the outside edge, looks better that way

That's really neat!
May I ask what functions you tend to assign to the additional switches? Is there any way of knowing whether tbe functions assigned to them are engaged or not? Other than using your ears of course!

What is your extension made of & what'd you do to match the FC angles?
