What looks off? They all passed our AOI testing.
They are perfectly fine friend. 
the phase wire soldering isn’t though And I spoke to our worker about this already.

get batch 2 rolling already so I can stop staring at blurry pictures 
and dont forget the solder balls

I haven’t manged to give these a ride yet, they were going in a prototype board which I used FOCBOX dimensions for, unfortunately the case on the rideneo is just a bit too tall and won’t fit.
I will put them in another build in the next couple of days and give them a workout and post results then.
Meanwhile some hopefully constructive feedback on the enclosure design.
The case design is stunning, it really looks lovely!
Feedback on the case design functionality:
- Overall case height is too high,
- Hex standoffs are not a good idea, they come loose too easily and are fiddly and easy to break
- Having the sensor cable connectors inside the case is not a great idea, it would be much better to have a right angle connector on the PCB and a cut-out in the case to allow the sensors to be connected when the case is closed up. As it stands I will probably make small extension cables to have the sensor connectors outside of the case. Having the sensor cable connectors inside make initial assembly of a board and maintenance a lot more difficult that it should be.
- Having the case fixing screws on the bottom is really fiddly, especially if you are mounting the ESCs to plates (see image below). It would be much better to have mounting plate holes on the bottom of the ESC (they can be just a few mm deep and not through holes to ensure no dust or moisture enters the enclosure). Being able to take the case apart via screws at the top of the enclosure would be much more user friendly all-round.
- consider having servo connector and cable soldered to PCB or use a right angle connector and cut-out in the case at the side or possibly a cut-out in the top of the case to allow a servo connector plug to be connected.
- enclosure wall is too close to the connectors making them very tight and increasing the chances of damaging connectors when unplugging them
- no holes in the case to be able to view the LEDs without opening the case
My wish list:
- If you can drop the height of the case and allow connectors to be connected/disconnected without the need to remove the case lid that would be great. having the case as low as possible at the phase lead end is really important, having a raised section in the case lid to accommodate the caps is fine and works well on the focbox.
- Please re-design the case so it can be opened from the top and also has mounting holes at the bottom.

This is kind of a big deal. Difficult access makes life unnecessarily hard.Thanks for posting.

I have found a temporary work-around 
I’m using the original FOCBOX thicker heat transfer pad so it will be interesting to compare results with the stock units.

Honestly a case in this style @jeffwuneo would be really nice Jeff. Solves a lot of the issues

This kind of case is not good for water protection or dust and if not so good for thermal.
I will share our V2 case soon. I think everyone will like.

This is why we beta test - we should all be happy at how much Jeff listens to suggestions lol
I’m excited to see Case v2

Ah!! nice!! I shoulda tried this… maybe next time the board gets opened up. Good job, so it was the caps diameter after all… good to know.
Not the diameter. I mention before it was an assembly problem because they were glue before putting in case. Next production will be better.

i will probably design and print a cover later if required, this was more of a way to figure out if it could be done in a quick and dirty way
although the v2 of the case should make that unnecessary

@jeffwuneo will the V2 case be ready by the time the current batch of NeoHubs comes starts shipping?

Case is ready already

Ooh sweet! Does that mean might get the new version to test? 
(NeoBoxes and NeoHubs shipping together)

Indeed, this is why we also offer suggestions… no point in not offering improvement ideas.

I agree with these points, and for me the boxes dont really have to be waterproof since the enclosure on almost every build is meant to take care of that. nevertheless its always nice if there is some waterresistance. Looking forward to see the new cases
