    Hi there!

    I took my time with the built, but it was my first "selber-löten"-kit ever. Now it's finally running ... success!

    (guess I'm hooked now) Thanks again to Julian for helping me out when I was unsure what to do.

    My case came today!   
    Now that's a cool way to have the button cap colours allocated!

    Darn. I spot the Mutable Instruments synths quite often. i guess i need one of those too :x
  • diwibdiwib

    MI Synths and SP Drums are like Peanut Butter and Jelly!

    Oh my! My LXR already looks that dusty. And all these fingerprints! I use it alot :D

    Finished mine last night, and got up 2 hours later for work.  Can't wait to play with it tonight :)

    The "all grey" cap layout is really cool, I plan to assemble it that way too.

    I went with color coordination, so all the LEDs are green on mine. All-black buttons and the USB socket I used is black. The footer on USB sockets is all standardized anyway, so I fell for the neatness trap @-)

    Well, here's mine. Barebone. Hoping for a metal case someday. :-)

    bigger images should be scaled down automatically once you refresh the site after posting.

    Nice!!!!

    Just finished mine and it sounds great! (Now to learn all of its features.)
    My case isn't together, though, because one of the M3 x 12mm screws in the kit was actually a 6mm screw. Anyone know what the thread size is? I may just have to find a new set of four screws and nuts at the hardware store so that they will all match...
  • loderbastloderbast
    3M = 3mm :)
    just get "M3" and you are fine with thread pitch etc. I think the Mx stuff is available all over the world.

    at reichelt you get 200 for 1,85€
  • julianjulian
    is it ok for you to get the screws from a hardware store?
    Otherwise I could send you a replacement screw.

    M3/3mm is correct.

    My first self build - very happy :) The picture of the bridge may or may not be the 'bridge' that you need to solder in early stages of the build - but it's definitely a bridge - in fact it's the Forth Road Bridge. Thanks to my helper robots Salt N' Peppa for moral support, sing songs, soldering advice etc.
  • jannizjanniz
    I really like this post ... great job - beautiful pics! :)) Since the LXR was my first built, too – I can feel how proud you are. Maybe I should've added some pics of the "Köhlbrandbrücke" glowing in the dark, too.
  • VarthdaderVarthdader
    Another successful LXR build here!

    I can safely say that I avoided any use of tape by being very careful with my soldering around the USB port and under the OLED screen!
  • julianjulian
    congratulations!

    @Varthdader did you use tape over the buttons to keep the caps in place?

    a|x
  • VarthdaderVarthdader
    @toneburst: No way the caps would stay in place without some "help". Of all the possible solutions, I had some Masking Tape laying around while I was anxiously looking to get my new baby in it´s case. Masking Tape as in the whitish paper tape.

    Used a small strip over each button, pressed the caps in and presto. No issues so far, caps stuck there nice and firm, plus I can "undo" by removing this tape in the future.
  • tonebursttoneburst
    @Varthdader cool. I used little bits of electrical insulation tape. Only colour I has was red. Like you, I was in a hurry, so I used it anyway. Your can see a few corners of red tape sticking out here and there if you look closely, but its barely noticeable, so I don't really care. My case was a bit tricky to get together, so I'm inclined not to bother fixing it,
