benhs1898 - Good to hear you got things installed!

How much did you have to grind the screws down? I can't imagine you had different screws than I did. Mine are on there nice and tight. The only height issues I had were due to me being lazy and not trimming the tactile switch pins before soldering the top. I did end up just clipping them after the fact and bending them out of the way as best I could. Then I made sure I didn't have too much solder build up. The copper lid was able to then sit flush with the aluminum box.



I did just check with a multimeter and the ground for SW1 is touching the screw. Because of the positioning and since the screws are domed they should never touch the negative and positive switch leads simultaneously. But insulating is never a bad idea. Electrical tape works of course but might raise the PCB too high. Alternatively there are varnishes and coatings you can use to achieve the same results.

MG Chemicals Red GLPT Insulating Varnish

MG Chemicals Urethane Conformal Coating

You could coat the bottom of the board or the screws. Both should do the trick.

There is also the possibility of switching out the screws if you want to use electrical tape and it causes to much height (I haven't tried electrical tape but I know it's not thin). The screws are #8-32 in size.

I'm a little behind but I should have a build guide and best practices write up put together here in the next few days to go over some of these items and more.

For those going forward if there are any questions please let me know.

I think I ground them down about halfway. It wasn’t too much of a problem. I also factored in the electrical tape when I was grinding the screws.

My kit came in today!! Don’t know if I should Jerry rig a chassis together or wait for goths before installing this

Beautiful little kit!! Thanks so much

Positive update today! After another mess I was able to get the resin to cooperate with the dye I was using. The results weren't what I was planning for, but they work for sure.



They are not completely opaque, but when both side are put together with the PCB and inserted in the heat sink they look great.



Also I got the BRRogers plates today! So all parts and pieces are ready and a whole lot of orders will be able to go out. I'll clean up the holders of the bases (leaving the bases on the triangle inserts because they are so small) and start packaging things up to drop-off.

Thanks everyone!

I had requested only the plate from BRRogers - is the cost on that still $5 plus a stamp? Thanks.

That would work.

 

[knullzero]

Hey everyone, I am trying to get these orders out the door since I have all the parts and pieces... A few went out today and a few more will go out tomorrow. If you were on the BRRogers plate run, please send me the $5 so I can ship out your order. I'm hoping I can get all fully paid orders out this week, including international.

Oh, if you haven't paid at all, please do so now so I can send you your stuff.

Thanks everyone for your patience.

 

[Nnaut]

Will we get a notification some how to let us know our payment has been verified, and parts sent?

I haven't updated a "paid" list but I can do that later this morning. In terms of shipping notification, the answer is yes.

Here is a list of paid/shipped orders. Please review and make sure everything looks good. If you've paid and it's not reflected please let me know. If you see partially paid by your name and you aren't sure why, please let me know so we can sort out the details. If you are in on the BRRogers plate run please send me the plate payment since I have taken that over so I can ship everything out. My shipping boxes are being delivered today so those with international orders who have fully paid will start shipping tomorrow.

Hey everyone, all orders that are full paid should go out today. Apologies for those who have received items but didn't receive tracking. I was under the impression that PayPal would have notified you but it seems that hasn't been the case. From here on out I am doing manual notifications.

Here is a list of who has paid and what has shipped. If you see "partially paid" and can't figure it out let me know. If you were on the run but decided to drop off please let me know as well.

Glad you tagged me as I missed this. Thx! Paying ASAP. Also, you mentioned on FB about doing this for the LS6. Will you create a new thread here as well? Really want in on that. Thx again!

 

[Scott D]

I've gotten three "mention" emails regarding this thread and I've never ordered anything from you.

Don't see mine - I sent payment for Full Set, Both Style on 5th, Mar.

Sorry about the notifications, I must have messed up the tags. I'll tag more carefully in the future.

Ok I found your payment but still need $5 more for the BRRogers plate.

Thanks!
