Leave it as it is, the body already has a "rough" texture

Good call I think, grippy and wont show any marks, win win!

Bet your already making plans for the third installment

It is going to be a real tight fit to get everything inside





The 18650 holder had to be sanded down to fit

Ha I feel your pain, though its worth it when you have a nice small mod that feels good to hold.

Did find mounting the chip against the side buys you more space, but looks like you have got it sussed by your markings on the box!

Mounting the board against the sides looks a little tight but easier to make the opening ... more forgiving
Against the face will give a little more space but getting the opening dead-on will be more awkward.

A serious lack of motivation

This has been sitting on my desk for the pass couple of weeks




Done

1. Holes cut out
2. Painted


To Do

1. Wires need cutting down
2. Board and battery sled need to be glued in
3. Soldering

Just started a new job so I'll try and get this sorted out next week


BTW the black silicone stuff (???), what is the best way to remove it, by heat ?

Finally sorted this out
