QMX+ building progress has progressed, but...


 

I noticed far too late in the process that my front-panel board has two "ears" to either side; picture attached.

It is clear from both the fact that the board does not fit into the enclosure thus, and looking closer at the pictures of the board in the manual, that these should not be present.

What is my easiest path to trimming them off without doing mischief at this stage of the process?!

Thanks!

They are extra material used to support during the PCB manufacturing.
If you look carefully you should see that they are partially cut through.
Unplug the front panel pcb from the main board and then you should be able to carefully snap the “ears” off with pliers - working the pliers back and forth along the line with a little bending force.
Obviously need to be a bit careful supporting the front board as it’s now built.
