Custom Front Panel Design for Intech Grids

Hello, I'm currently planning my Intech system 😉 Is there a graphical template available to design custom front panels for the Grids? I'd like to print labels under the encoders, sliders, and potentiometers in the same format as https://intech.studio/fr/shop/midigrade-front-panel-set/

A reference, for example, at Yaeltex:

I'm also interested in this. I've seen that the front panel is a PCB, and I know how to make PCB designs to customize mine with labels and /or graphics

For me the ideal would be to have the DXG/SVG or the hardware files (kicad, eagle). Would be that possible?

We don't print custom front panels, but you can use the files from GitHub if you want to create a custom panel.

Alternatively use Posca's PC - 1MR paint marker, which can be easily removed with alcohol wipes!

Thank you, I'll take a look 🙂

All the hardware is open sourced? woah, that's so nice.
Does anyone have tried DIYng a module?

Having front panels for every setup is pretty helpful and should look also into it. Are there any printers that can produce such last longing individual panels? Using paper or any similar material won’t last long and will wear out after some time. Using markers is also counterproductive as I plan to swap panels several times a day.

It's possible, economically not feasible probably. But can be taken as a basis for a compatible project or reuse parts of it.

Creating custom PCB panel designs is the subject you can look up, regularly done by eurorack modular music producers in the music diy world. We want to nail down the core product refresh and VSN1 first, so we focus on the blank black panels.

The best of this is reparability as well, I’m even more convinced I put my money in the right place

We actually have a brand of eurorack blank panels, maybe something nice could come out of an Intech x Materia design
