Revised punch list for my sanity: * Start button modification * Print dust washer art (possibly reprint CPO) * Install t-molding * Install monitor to inside of cabinet against bezel * Polish edges of clear dust washer with Novus * Attach dust washer art to bottom of clear dust washer * Figure out how to control ServoStik motor with Raspberry Pi * Create splash screen or intro video for Raspberry Pi boot * Configure Raspberry Pi * Wire everything I hope to knock out a lot of this over the weekend. Finish line in sight finally. :cheers: |

I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to do this but I think it works in theory. I'll have to remove quite a bit of that rectangle on the underside of the button cap somehow in order to get the mini button as high up as possible inside of the Seimitsu button. With the right spacers, friction should take care of the rest (no need to glue everything together). I just don't want the mini button to be able to slide around even though it will be somewhat wedged between the button cap and the bottom of the Seimitsu button. I'll know more once I get a chance to play with it. At the very least I want to get the monitor mounted this weekend and everything wired. Do you guys think a strong tape would hold over time? Ideally I'd like to just tape the monitor to the bezel from behind. It is pretty light but I worry about the tape failing eventually. Otherwise I need to think of some other way to do it (not to mention lining it up). |

is it thick enough to use a small screw and some plastic strap over the corners instead of tape? I would guess it the bezel is pretty thin. :( You could get some plastic plumbers strap if it would work. J_K_M_A_N |

I can only assume it would hold up over time. |

J_K_M_A_N --- End quote --- My bezel is made of black matte board so I can't screw anything to it, unfortunately. It's thick (1/8") and pretty sturdy so I'm hoping tape will work... --- Quote from: Arroyo on May 17, 2019, 05:08:01 pm --- --- Quote from: javeryh on May 17, 2019, 03:26:48 pm ---Do you guys think a strong tape would hold over time? --- End quote --- I’ve used this stuff for mounting templates when routing: It’s stupid strong, I’ve even had trouble separating two pieces pulling as hard as I can.
