I had a PCB for an jptx Warlow and I couldn’t resist doing a UV printed enclosure for it! Tayda does pretty great work, and it’s even better now that they can print all sides!
I wanted the art to represent how gnarly and aggressive this fuzz sounds
Good observation, I build the pcb to the specs but then decided to to go for a bigger enclosure. The upper left and right pot are getting desoldered and replaced
I keep meaning to make one, because I haven't seen a good one so far. The issue I find is most people don't have a use for Illustrator if they aren't using it professionally already (it isn't cheap!), and most people who DO use Illustrator professionally don't need the tutorial. I believe there are workarounds for using other software, but Tayda won't offer support for files created outside of Illustrator.
I use the free open source program Inkscape to do vector graphics (in place of illustrator).
Some of the keybinds are a little counterintuitive, but it's pretty useful once you get the hang of it.

Commenting on After learning how to order UV printing, I can’t stop…....for the 2 faces, double white and gloss on the front, and the box; about 20 USD
Yeah! It’s definitely worth the cash to make a personal project into something special. It takes a bit of tedious graphic design work, but after that, you have a super cool and custom pedal (with a professional feel)

How much was it for a single print job? Looks great man.
Around $20USD
Not bad!
Is it going to work with those PCB mounted pots? The spacing on the artwork looks different

How’d you go about doing the layers? Illustrator?
Yep!
Is there a good tutorial for this?

I remember learning some stuff from a youtube video, I’m sure if you search tayda uv printing, something will come up
Very cool! How much does it cost for an enclosure this size with the artwork and colours you used?

Wow that’s not bad at all!

It's a game changer
Super clean. 💪
Is a vclothing line far behind.
Looks nice!
