¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMark,? thanks for the response. I put the main PCB in the box and it is a tight fit. So much so, that the PCB does not need screws or the nuts for the BNC or the three 1/8 inch jacks to secure the PCB. In other words, it ain¡¯t going no where once installed. I had? to open up the BNC hole and cut away some of the opening where the PI USB / Ethernet connectors are so the PI could clear. Not a lot of material, just a fraction. This box was printed with PLA and that might be some of? the problem with dimensional accuracy, but I don¡¯t rightfully know. Yes. The ribbon connector locking mechanism is not very strong and will snap in half easily. Been there, done that before. I ordered those ribbon cables. Like you, I will have more then I need. To open up that channel for the display, I tried cutting a deeper channel with my Dremel but it was rough. Later, I found that using a large head nail in my ¡°el cheap O¡± ?soldering iron, allowed me to melt? a groove. 73 Barry K3BO ? Sent from for Windows ? From: Mark Hatch
