Thought I'd share how I did mine, been putting off sharing but I think I did alright with it, but I've been a long time reader in the forum's but never been a big contributor.
I had help with my first pcb design, and there was a lot of issues with everything, using the photos I saw posted here, I made a rough copy and was going to do the ol peel n stick transfer method, which ended up with me redrawing the traces again in altium designer.

Apart from trying to source enclosures to fit the pcb, i decided to get a bit of 3mm alloy bent for my (What I refer to as ShrEddie)

don't know if you can see the picture i added, but I am pretty happy with the results.

Thanks guys

For C3, C4, and C5 I just noticed I got polarized capacitors and the schematic shows non-polarized. Will this matter? If it does not matter, which way should the (+) side go?

I meant no offence, as I don't know you from a bar of soap, I heard for about a year that it used the cp-16 module but nobody ever took pictures... and I prefer seeing pictures for verification over the internet. sorry I didn't check this forum out for a while, it never gives you email notifications when someone posts something

I'm workin on a DIY version right now. I simplified the circuit a bit and I think it should still sound the same. Waiting for all the parts to arrive.
