The spacing between the underside of the front panel and the upper side of the PCB is about 0.27" (7 mm), which is originally defined by the encoders and the 3D printed buttons are made to match this.

+ | ===== 3D Printed Front Panel ===== | ||
+ | Smithy has provided an STL file for a 2mm 3D Printed Front Panel with 1mm Raised Lettering as a more budget friendly option. It will require a printer with a bed side size typically of 400 x 400mm or larger. | ||
+ | This is currently untested and unprinted, and may require a resolution / layer height setting of 0.1mm to be accurate. More info to come when I have designed and 3D printed and a Rear Panel. | ||
+ | Please see the following guide to achieve a dual colour panel with a different colour for the lettering and for the panel: | ||
