NeoTrellis M4 Acrylic Enclosure Kit

NeoTrellis M4 Acrylic Enclosure Kit – Laser-Cut Protective Housing for Adafruit NeoTrellis M4 with 4×8 Elastomer Keypad and NeoPixel Back-Lighting
The NeoTrellis M4 Acrylic Enclosure Kit is a laser-cut acrylic protective housing designed specifically for the Adafruit NeoTrellis M4 development board, providing a rigid, clean-finished enclosure that presents the NeoTrellis M4 and its 4×8 silicone elastomer keypad in a professional panel-mount-ready format suitable for live performance, studio use, and permanent installation builds. The kit transforms the bare NeoTrellis M4 PCB and keypad assembly from an open development board into a self-contained instrument or controller unit with protected electronics, a defined front-panel key surface, and a finished appearance appropriate for use alongside commercial music production and performance hardware. Acrylic enclosure panels are precision laser-cut for accurate alignment with the NeoTrellis M4 PCB mounting points, keypad grid, and USB port access without modification or trimming.
The transparent or tinted acrylic panel construction allows the NeoPixel RGB back-lighting of the 4×8 key matrix to remain fully visible through the enclosure surfaces, preserving the visual impact of per-key NeoPixel illumination that is a central feature of the NeoTrellis M4 platform in performance and interactive installation contexts. The stacked acrylic layer construction typical of laser-cut enclosure kits of this type provides structural rigidity across the full panel footprint while remaining lightweight, and the assembly process requires only the included hardware without adhesives or specialised tools. The enclosure kit is designed for use with the Adafruit NeoTrellis M4 board and 4×8 elastomer keypad, both of which are sold separately, and does not include the NeoTrellis M4 PCB, keypad, or any electronic components.
