Budgie Top plate mechanical drawings

Hello, I have recently ordered a budgie se board, I am planning on measuring it of course.

I plan on designing my own chassis in front panel express, as I have different output transformer mountings and different choke.

Does anyone have a cad or front panel express drawing of the top plate PCB?

I see Shannon parks posted this of the top plate

, but sadly there isn't any dimensions visible. It appears to be a fpe file, or other front panel software. If someone could post the actual file, it would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you very much for any replies.

Let me gather a couple Front Panel Express files together and I'll post them tomorrow. It should save you a lot of time.

Here's a Budgie SE mockup that you can start with. At a minimum you can just copy the PCB and insert it into your drawing. I use outlines early on during the layout to make sure everything fits, and then I "Ungroup Everything" and delete the outlines when I'm finished.

Note: the FPD file for download is practically hidden just below and to the left of the picture.

Thank you!

I'll post a build thread once I'm more further along.
