          alt text
          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

                      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?

                        Next steps:

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