ice tube chassis still has miss drilled holes

Postby thinwing » Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:42 pm

Who ever operates the laser cutter has been producing clear lucite cases that the bases are missed drilled..I ordered a snd one as a newhome gift,and discovered that the pcp board hole only line up with the lucite case base if placed upside down,but of course once components are placed and soldered cant be done.The way I solved this was to line up charge port,buttons etc in back case wall than fit the case bottom...in both ice cube clocks the holes are off about 1/4 in..so I redrilled to be able to final assemble case adafruit production crew take not..kpc

Can you post a photo of that? There are a lot of these out there and you are the first to report this problem.

Sounds like the bottom piece may be on backwards :)
