| Happs 3" trackball mounting |
| (1/2) > >> |
| Hizzout:
The trackball came with a mounting plate but I'm going back and forth between using the mounting plate and flush mounting. Mouting plate would be easier for sure but I'd get a much better look if it were flush mounted. I'm using 3/4" mealmine board. Are there any good instuctions out there in web-land (pictures included) for how to mount the trackball both with a face plate and for flush mounting? |

I am in the process of doing the research for this now. I recommend you do a search for Flush Mount Trackball. There is some good information on it there. I'll tell you this - either way you go. You'll still want/need the mount plate. |
| Dustin Mustangs:
Yeah, for a flush mount you still use the plate but you recess it into the board with a 1/16" mill. I personally don't see any point in doing this unless you are planning on an overlay also. |
| leapinlew:
The plate is one way to allow the trackball to stay connected to the CP. |
| Hizzout:
Alrighty, thanks guys. Are there pictures anywhere that show how to mount everything? My confusion right now is the shape of the hole to cut to mount the trackball. Thanks again |
