I’m at the point of talking my son into printing this case for me. I would be too scared to whittle the board down to make it fit, and that would beg the question of possibly changing the 3D printer file to accommodate the board properly. Has anyone else had this same problem with the 3.03 board?
Yeah i would be too, but those edges are scored pretty deep and the other pcb pictures dont have it, so I’m wondering if it just wasnt taken off/cleaned up before it shipped to me.
But will wait for confirmation before I do anything for sure.
@Jason_Radford That piece can definitely be removed. You should do it by hand with a firm grip and it should break very cleanly.
That’s a manufacturing oversight. The reason we didn’t catch it during QA is because we only do functional testing once we get it from the factory. Sorry about that.
I just got the DC v3.03 earlier this month. My board didn’t have the extra width on that edge, but the USB connector was not solder mounted to the board. It was hanging on by the connectors only. I know how to solder, so no biggie. Just a little quality control issue. I’m sure the guys will watch the issue a bit more closely. My DC is working beautifully, btw. I am on the East coast of central Florida, and getting a good signal with the LNB.
Dear Syed,
It is all good. I was just impatient to start playing. Only posted that in case somebody else may have the same issue. Only took a minute to put a little solder on the socket mount tabs. I am very happy with my DC!
