MAKING A CABINET
Your Altura wants a cabinet and you have some options: make a cabinet from cardstock or a cereal
box, or get an acrylic cabinet kit from Zeppelin Design Labs. In the future we will publish CAD models
that you can download and use to 3D-print your own case. To stay informed, sign up for our newsletter

CARDSTOCK CABINET
Your synth includes a template for making a nifty cardstock cabinet. If you need an extra copy, you can
download it from www.zeppelindesignlabs.com, but you will need to print it on 11x17 (A4) paper. Be
sure the template prints to 100% full size! Compare the scale on the template to an actual ruler.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
1. Straightedge
2. X-Acto knife or other sharp hobby knife
3. Sharp scissors
4. Rubber cement
5. Two push pins or thumbtacks
6. Some small binder clips
7. Cereal box or cardstock. Zeppelin Design Labs offers some mice iridescent card stock as an
accessory (1), or you can look for your own at a craft supply store. If you get your own cardstock,
choose something with these properties:
•
It must be minimum 11” x 11” (28 x 28 cm)
•
It must be at least as stiff as a cereal box, no thinner! Look for 80-105 lb cover stock.
•
The face must be smooth enough to hold the vinyl sticker.
Let’s Begin!
1. Rough-cut the Template, leaving a small margin all around (2).
