Hi,

there is also another challenge:

I would liek to get rid of these metal body. The side you can see shoud me glued to the plastic.

What can I put between the curcuit and the plastic? Some small plastik tubes? Wood? Rubber? Should I then glue the boards or better (for the future) screw it to to the “legs”?

How about grounding it? Needed?

Cheers
Birdy

Easy to bend och drill in

birdy

tomyboy96

@birdy i cut out flat pices that i drilled the board to.

birdy

so like this (side view)?

@birdy yeah, but i used velcro tape insted of glue

one question, which is bothering me: the controller plate has spot for grounding (the plate was connected with the metal body before via this “grounding spot”). Do I need to ground it e.g. with power supply or similar or I can leave the plate ungrounded?

So I got the MM up an running :)

Next steps:

MM configuration & understanding how it works
to shorten the wooden legs
to order + build a frame
put everything together :)

Dear all,

next issue: to reduce the empty space behind the LCD panel, I bought a 90 degrees DVI adapter. But I have noticed, my plug was DVI-D and I bought DVI-I.

Question: I don’t want to wait a week for a new one, can I remove few pins (esp. the 4 on the left) on my own? see picture below:

Thx for your help!
