very nice! Yeah, I've done it for the Simulcast and Gen Tso.
A pain but I just like it better than 125.
It's sooooo close. If they were just 1-2mm smaller....
Did you have to file down the width? In the past I thought 2.25” wide boards didn’t fit in 1590B when I tried.
I dremeled the sides of the enclosure for the most part and I ran both edges of the PCB on some sandpaper just to take a little more off. Kind of a pain in the ass but I like a challenge
Can’t take any longer than the dremel. Probably a much more even consistent result.I've used a 2" sanding drum setup on a small drill press - and just move it (the 1590B) back and forth. Takes a while but worth it.
Hey nice build! As a side note, do you have a good method for stripping that ribbon cable? I have been thinking about using that stuff when the PCB is so close to the switch, as cutting individual tiny wires and stripping the is a pain in the ass. Wondering if ribbon cable might be a better, less frustrating option.

Hey, I have one of those! the problem is when I am trying to make the wires less than an inch long it doesn't really work. I am probably just doing something wrong though.
Yeah I totally like the way the ribbon looks, I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the info.I just carefully strip it back with an x-acto knife at the moment. I’ve done it enough now that it goes pretty quick. I have thought about getting some strippers like the ones Nostradoomus posted, but the knife does pretty good once you practice a few. I think it’s way easier than using individual wires and I like the way it looks
