Eurorack is a rabbit hole of synthesizer exploration and creation. It starts with an empty case you fill with different musical modules that connect with 3.5 mm audio patch cables. Not long after my obsession, I started looking critically at the cases available for these “Frankenstein Synthesizer” creations. Unfortunately, everything I found is very boxy and looks more like a suitcase than a synthesizer. They are utilitarian and very functional but boring to me. However, one can find lots of parts to build you own custom case. Thank god for Zbrush and 3d printers! This is absolutely one of my strangest sculptures to date. It had to accommodate these rectangular aluminum frames which hold the modules. Below are some WIP images from Zbrush to convey the size, shape, and assembly plan.

Below, are images of the first finished 120 HP case with internal lights. This was all printed on my Phenom L resin printer in 10 parts using a Nylon-Tough resin, which to my luck is slightly translucent! I printed two prototype versions in standard grey resin first and made some adjustments to the model before I made this version. The red oval shapes are thick vacuum-form lids concealing a USB hub underneath on the right and an iPhone holder on the left.

Lights off on above image and lights on on below image.

The internal lights really do change the look of this.

Below is a Photoshop image of what I eventually plan to build using three Invocation Chambers!
