Changes

Specifically, the instructions are for the assembly of kits v2 (version 2), those using the All-In-One circuit and the PiScreen 3.5' display. If you have an older kit v1, based in the 2in1 circuit and the PiTFT 2.8' display, you better should read [[Building a Zynthian Box using an official Kit | this tutorial]].

Anyway, the instructions are quite detailed and can be used as inspiration for building a custom Zynthian Box from scratch. Of course, you will have to be creative if you want to do it in that way ;-)

In the project's repositories you will find all the electric schemes, PCB specifications, Herber files, etc. to build your own Zynthian Box from scratch:

Before mounting the MIDI-IN/OUT/THRU connectors into the case we will solder the needed wires. Doing it in that way is rather more comfortable than trying to solder inside the case with all the wiring mess.

If you want, you can protect the contacts using heat-shrink sleeve (the red sleeve pieces in the photo). In that case, remember to insert the sleeve pieces before soldering ;-)

Fix the 4 controller modules to the case cover using the 4 bolts and washers attached to every rotary encoder.

'''IMPORTANT:''' For avoiding problems while closing the case, i recommend to mount the controller modules with the connectors facing one another, NOT like it's shown in the photo below (the two lower modules should be inverted 180º). I will update the photo ASAP.
