Customisable guitar pedalboard - can be extended with modular plates to suit your needs.
I wanted something really light for practice/gigging. So I made this mini pedal board! Perfectly sized for the new Quad Cortex Mini and some accessories.
The spacers are not necessary. I just needed them in order to fit the quad cortex as it is quite wide. But I think they add some nice customisation options. For example, you could print several of them (or change the colour every few layers) and make a flag design. Alternatively some PLA-Glow could look pretty cool!
Assembly:
- Recommend using fibre-reinforced filaments (at least for the large square plates) - this will help to prevent warping. You want these as flat as possible because you will need to insert rods through them.
- You will need three 8mm diameter rods. I used some 500mm long ones for my build (2 x plates + 2x 20mm spacers + 1 x 40mm spacer). 510mm would be ideal for this configuration but I was struggling to find longer carbon rods. Metal rods should work just fine too.
- Slide all of the plates and spacers onto the rods. I recommend adding some dabs of superglue but the fit should be quite tight already.
- Glue on the end pieces and any middle pillars. I used two part epoxy (gorilla brand as this is slightly gap-filling).
