Mounting the til311 clock
Posted By azog on September 28, 2009
Got tired of the til311 clock sitting around nakid, so I tried to put it in an enclosure:
This is a small cigar box, almost just the perfect size to fit the PCB. The board was about 0.5″ too big on the width, so I had to decide what to do: shave off the PCB, or shave the inside of the box? It would have been easier to shave off a quarter inch of the PCB on each side, but for some reason, that gave me nightmares. So I used a dremmel to shave out the inside of the box.
Maybe you can see it, maybe not. But on each top and botton, I shaved off the inside to about half-way down, so I could sit the board in. Just screw it in to place. I had to stack four 14-pin sockets into each display, so it would lift up enough to clear the lid.
Yea, maybe not the most professional job, but hey.
