No confusion here. The mixer is for me, and anyone who might be interested in it. I'm not trying to design a commercial product. This is a DIY forum.There seems to be some confusion as to who this mixer is for in the market.

Happy to. I have attached both a FPD (what I used to make it) and a DXF version using your attachment trick. Like I said...not 100% set in stone. This was really just a POC. As for the 3D file, the only application I have that can open 3D files is SketchUp, which should be able to import DWG, DXF, or STL.[Would you be willing to share the working 3D file you have?] -- I'll share you mine, if you will share with me yours!!! Is it FPD?
Which CAD-file format would you like to have? -- STP? IGS? FPD? SLDPRT? X_T? Let me know, OK???

The units are mm. It's set to 2mm because FPE doesn't allow the selection of 1.5mm (the thickness of the original Takachi panel) at this size.[I have attached both a FPD (what I used to make it) and a DXF version] -- I have 3 immediate questions for you:
Based upon the sheet-metal chart shown below, your panel thickness of 0.079" only comes close in either the Galvanneal or Stainless Steel metals or in the standard Aluminum 5052-H32 at 0.081" thick. Let me know, OK???
- Which "unit-of-measurement" did you use? Imperial (inch)? Or, metric?
- How thick is this panel supposed to be? I am measuring 0.079" or 2mm, neither of which is a standard thickness.
- What material is this panel supposed to be made from?
>> NOTE: Galvanneal is a rather "unknown" type of sheet-metal, but it is widely used in both the computer and medical electronics industries for their enclosures. Although a tad-bit more expensive than the run-of-the-mill aluminum, it does have some positive attributes, one of which is that it has a really nice finish to it. Just sayin'.....

>> SORRY!!! -- In my world, I always have to deal with and work in -- ABSOLUTES -- and no "if's, and's or but's" as Frank may or probably does at his FPD company.
