Low Tide faceplate LED bezel?

[giovanni]

Couldn’t find the answer on the forum and the build reports I found all raw dogged the LED. I tried fitting different LED bezels I have but none of them would fit. Well, one did but the shaft is too long and would short the LED pads on the board. So, @Robert which bezel fits the faceplate?

Assuming it’s the same as the other PPCB faceplates, I think you want this duder: (edit: this is not it)

There’s also other colors besides clear in that size.

Nope. That’s too small. I have a bunch of those.

It's probably the same hole size for the electrovibe faceplate as well..... I use basically the same as jcpst suggested but the 5mm version... you have to open up the faceplate hole slightly for the 5mm version.... i just do it with a drill bit by hand with my oversized/undersized drill bit set..

probably pictures of my electrovibe builds in the build reports with that same led lens

Yep. This should be it:

I just pressed one into a faceplate without having to enlarge the hole, but it's definitely a tight fit. It's not going to fall out.


I have some here if I'm already shipping you anything by any chance.

Eh, I was looking for an excuse for more pink bags…

Thank you all!

When I have a hankering to use a metal bezel and its too tall to not short out against the board, I'll just use a hack saw or Dremel and cut off the shank of the bezel down to the threads. That usually does the trick. Oh and I don't use the little plastic holder for the led since soldering it to the board is more than stable.
