I did a bit of both. Clamped it loosely around the xt90, held in place and drilled the plate for it. Then tightened it all up. The little screws on mine didn’t bolt through onto a but but tapped into the plate (they are tiny).
I used one on each side and it isn’t going anywhere.
They do clamp tight tho, and if you overtighten they can bend the connector and make it even harder to plug in the xt90s. You can see the connector squeezed in this pic.
ok… more like an imaginary quark burst that I approximated the apogee (or is it perigee??) to approximate what amperage I may have pulled in a perfect environment…
Mr. Robot dear sir… is there ever the possibility of having a scrunched version of the PCBs (especially the 21700 model) for those of us who are very space deficient?
and I have not abandoned the Dong remote… I’m just awaiting the time that mere mortals can purchase and own one… I sought other viable alternatives as I was not among the anointed…
My hummie deck was a first batch model with a 140mm wide cutout, which was very inconsistent across its length (think +/-4mm at narrowest/widest points). At the point when i was test fitting, neither the FlexPCB nor the CompactPCB would fit in my 140mm cutout. I am going to stuff a 21700 pack in here, so I promptly grabbed my angle grinder and opened up the cutout by a lot.
My understanding is that newer hummie decks have a 145mm cutout that is better machined, but i have not had one in my hands to confirm. Perhaps @Hummieee can. If that is the case, then the CompactPCB should fit, as it is 144mm wide when assembled properly. Its going to be tight though.
You flatter me. Think of me more as the guy who stands in the corner and rubs one out while the Bigbrains (Andrew and Renee) do science.
