3.5mm jack.. is it only me or? #ubitx #parts

 

After sorting my issues out I started building a case and run into the next problem.

Out of the 3 3.5mm jack I was able to only turn the nut on 1 of them. Barrel isn't very long. Am using double sided copper clad pcb.
So guess have to either modify the cabinet on the inside (to make it thinner) or look for different jacks.

I ended up gluing them to the case from the inside.
 

I used a plexiglass sheet that was to thick so I used a forstner bit and reduced the thickness of the plexi where the jacks go. Just a temporary home for uBitx.

This is a really smart idea. Great for display and as a hook for public interest.?

If you don't like the clear look all the time, you could make a cardboard 'skin' for it.

Or fill it with water and add a couple of goldfish!

Wait, never mind...

Or as I just have learned this past week spray the inside with paint!? You can do all one color and use many different colors for a one of a kind enclosure.

Got mine to go onto 2 mm aluminum panel, appears to be the maximum thickness for those jacks.
