Build Guide
Building the minipad is very straight forward. The case is designed in a way 10mm long self-tapping flat-head M3 screws can be inserted into the sockets. The scews tap (hence the need to be self-tapping) into the resin, holding the two parts of the case together with the PCB in place in-between.
It is important to use self-tapping screws (pointy nose), as other screws will not be able to "dig" into the case material. M3 means the screw has a diameter of 3mm, which is important for the screw to fit. It is also important to choose 10mm long, flat-headed screws since otherwise they will be sticking out of the case on the bottom.
Here's are step-by-step instructions on how to build the minipad together:
- Put the PCB into the top side of the case. Make sure the components on the PCB are facing you and not the case.
- Put the bottom part of the case on top of the case. The hole for the USB port should align with the top part.
- Put 4x 10mm self-tapping flat-head M3 screws into the sockets. Screw them all the way in, until the screws no longer stick out.
- Put the switches into the holes on top of the case. The side of the switch that looks special is meant to point upwards.
- Put the keycaps onto the switches, then you're done!
