Author Topic: The case of all things has me stumped. (Read 5423 times)

I've been playing with assembling the case for a couple of hours now and it has me a bit stumped... Does anyone have a picture of an assembled case so I can stop feeling like a total arse.

The acrylic pieces I have do not have the same build as the cases shown on the KS update.

Oh..

It might help to say that I am trying to assemble the green KS case for the RGB and digispark kit. The assembly tabs seem to fit too loosely to hold the case together.

Casey,

I apologize if it wasn\'t obvious form the prototypes - but the cases are intended to be glued together, the prototypes were glued or taped together. We explored snap together cases (so they\'d be easier to take apart) but found them unreliable at best given the very tiny size of the parts.

I hope that helps, I\'ll try to get some pictures together of how they look assembled soon.

Erik,

Excellent .. I was going nuts .. thank you for the heads up the assembly.. I finally got frustrated and once I got one put together around my digiBlink I took my fine Weller tip and spot welded the acrylic at the corners.

I am having a lot of fun with the digispark and I can\'t wait to get my hands on a Pro model when you launch the Kickstarter.

Thanks,
Casey/UnklStewy

thats a good way to put it together! - I use just a drop of 95% acetone

the next digispark - no being called the Digispark Squared will be my top priority as soon as we get the next 4000 orders out the door!

I too am having some confusion over the cases. I figured out on my own that they weren\'t snap together and need to be glued, but my spatial reasoning must be poor as I\'m having some difficulties figuring out how it should be connected/configured/assembled.

Erik, could you provide some pictures of the layout and how to configure? (and what it\'s supposed to look like)

Thanks,

Jeff

It is on my list for tonight, I\'ll add it to the wiki and let people know here

I apologize that this did not happen tonight - the cases and camera are sitting on my desk for the morning - thanks for your patience!

Consider using hot melt glue if you think you might want to disassemble it in the future. A tiny dab will hold them together.
