CDXL Reissue Pots and drill template...

[RobertJay]

So, Am I just supposed to know not to use pcb mount pots? It doesn't make sense to not. The only thing holding it in place would be a toggle switch... But the drill template doesn't line up the 2 pots in line with the LED with pcb mount pots. I mean, it could be the wrong template. But who knows...

I find PCB mount pots are enough to hold it in place, even when there's only 2 pots.

LED holes often do not line up with the drill templates and require some bending.

The LEDs don't always line up, it would require unnecessarily large PCBs.

From @scheffehcs build report:

 

[RobertJay]

Nah, These template holes are WAY off. Already drilled and gonna de-solder and use wired pots now.

 

[Robert]

The template is correct, if your pots aren't aligned with the drilled enclosure there are two possibilities that come to mind...

1) Your page scaling wasn't set to None or 100% when printing
2) A few folks have gotten right-angle PCB mount pots that weren't the correct length and offset the pots from their intended positions.

Also check your printer settings and make sure it's 100% scaling and 8 1/2" x11" and not A4...
