Mutant Hot Glue DIY assembly manual v1.05
PG3
HEXINVERTER ÉLECTRONIQUE, 2015
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your interest in/purchase of the Mutant Hot Glue DIY project! It is my hope that you find this
design a useful addition to your modular synthesizer.
This assembly manual will show you how to build your Mutant Hot Glue module in the eurorack modular
format. This project is designed as a eurorack module and thus
there are no provisions made for other
formats, though, adapting is not impossible for the skilled builder.
The Mutant Hot Glue is not especially difficult to assemble
, but, you will probably benefit from having a few
DIY projects under your belt before beginning on this one.
The regular assortment of hand tools are needed
: a 2.5mm hex allen key, various sockets, a knurled nut
driver for the jacks, solder, a good bench-top soldering station (50 to 70W recommended). Besides that, a
relatively accurate digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) makes calibration of the compressor circuit the most
accurate, but you could also use an O’Tool or other DSO alternative, without too much of a difference.
A huge thank you to Hannes Pasqualini of
papernoise.net
for his excellent graphics design and artwork used
for this project! (

EURORACK KIT ASSEMBLY
I recommend following the steps outlined here if you haven’t built many modules before. If you are an
experienced builder, you could probably just give a read through these steps to catch any possible traps
ahead of time.
If you are building a PCB+panel set for which you sourced your own components
, please note
that your parts may not exactly match ours shown in the following procedures. Because the
Hot Glue is a full kit project, our focus will primarily be to aid the kit builders in this manual.
We’re going to be assembling both of the PCBs at the same time
, so get your tools and parts
ready and let’s go!
