Is there a repo or something like that where we could get the vectorial representations of the front panel (SVG or what ever)? so we could make our own custom front panel with laser cutting machine. I would love to make some out of wood or maybe even aluminium.

Not sure this is exactly what you want but should help

It's a starting point but my software that generate gcode for the laser engraver is expecting vectorial images. I was hoping that your are also using some kind of CNC machine to make the front panels and therefor you would have some vectorial representation of each of the module you are selling on your shop. However, I can use those info and make again the panel design on my own with Inskape (it will just be a huge amount of work  ) |

If you PM him, Robert might have sharable template for cutting the panels as he has them laser cut. For the greycolored panels, he made a rubber stamp to print each module type.
I have often thought of using a laser-cutter to burn in text and graphics as well for a folksy faux-bavarian-folk-art feel, like some Bastl modules.

I do think it would be nice if the frontpanel template for each module was available, perhaps on it's corresponding wiki page. Though i can understand if Robert might be reluctant to 'dilute the brand', as it were. (Also i guess it might be trickier for modules which are collabs/based on other makers designs, like the WAVETABLES for example.)
I do also love those wooden-fronted Bastl modules!

For DIY the Blank modules seems to be a good basic to get front panels! I think the grey front panels are made of painted MDF.
What happens when using laser cutter with such Blank module? Would the paint burn?
How would it look like?
