Hi
I designed a case for 500 series modules, I just got the first batch, everything looks ok in the design.
I noticed I designed it with the back covering the edge of the pcb, I mean, the 15 pin keeps inside the box, but there' s space enough around it for the connector, not sure if it' s the best way to do it, but I didn't like the idea of keeping part of the pcb out of the box.
Well, the main purpose of this post is to share my dxf drawing, in case somebody wants to send them to a metalhouse and get some of them, there' s no problem for me.
Note, in the Piece Nº2 the holes are 2mm diam. If you (like me) tap them by hand, the diameter should be 2,5mm, not hard to fix, but easier if the box comes well from the metalhouse. The holes in the piece Nº1 are not tapped as I didn' t see it necessary.
Also the piece Nº2 could be a bit shorter in the down face, in the front, maybe 1mm to leave a bit more clearance for the bending of piece Nº1.
Feel free to modify, critic or whatever about the design, my goal is give back to the forum a bit of what it gives to me.
