Manually Sliced Case Installation for Elektron Digitakt and Digitone

via WinstonsWork
"Behold, Winston's 'Manually Sliced' case for the Elektron Digitakt and Digitone I and II generations. I've painstakingly designed this with the sole purpose of safely removing as much unnecessary space as possible from the factory Elektron enclosures. This design brings you a 1 inch reduction from the front of the device, a more ergonomic angle, and added ventilation for style and peace of mind. Stay tuned for 2 vastly different case designs on the horizon.
Note: this case is not intended for the Elektron Syntakt
Note on Elektron's Factory Warranty: I stress that you make your own determination when it comes to the warranty, and whether you would like to do this modification yourself. You assume responsibility for your device while carrying out this modification."
