I thought that MOTM is the same height as DotCom/Moog etc It’s just the MOTM mounting holes are farther away from the panel edges which causes the problem.
I think Paul S at Synth Tech got out of the gate a year or two (not sure of the facts) before Roger A and Synth Tech offered a complete line of really well designed kits. What company has ever offered a full line of synth modules kits in DotCom/Moog format? None . . ever? But like I was saying before, all we need is someone like STG or BrideChamber to become obsessed for a while and make front panels for most if not all of the Synth Tech and third party MOTM modules and then DotComers everywhere can reap the treasure chest of great circuit boards that are already available.

Subject: Re: [dotcomformat] MU format panel design. What is acceptable?
Having said that, in my dotcom cabinets, I want things to fit correctly. Like
Krisp said, I'm one of those dotcom users who hate to be told MOTM modules fit
in a dotcom cabinet. OK, it does, but barely. They're too short and
it requires drilling holes carefully in the dotcom cab because they end up so
close to the edge. You also end up with gaps. Why have so many DIYs and kit
makers chosen the MOTM height instead of the Moog dimensions?
