YDKJ Controller (was: Aw crud.)
(1/8) > >>
Chris:
I've been workingon a You Don't Know Jack controller like the one that was posted here a while back, and I was drilling the holes out of the metal control panel today.  I used the same 1-1/8" hole saw I used for my arcade cabinet, but for some reason the holes came out just a bit bigger.  I barely got three buttonsinstalled, but the fourth hole is big enough for the whole button to fit right through:



I can't think of a way to save it... guess I'm going to try to cut a new sheet to fit the panel, but I don't have anything to precision-cut metal with.  Or buy a whole new enclosure.  Crud.

I'm sure you could find buttons with a bigger lip or buy/make some washers to make your existing buttons fit

Hot glue something underneath like a washer or some such. You could also put something on the top of the panel to hold the button on top, but do it for all the buttons and just make it look like it's a cosmetic thing.  I'm sure you could find some sort of flat rubber ring to put on there. my 2 cents.

Apparently.. You Don't Know Jack about drilling holes.   :laugh2:
