Wenn man bei Mouser (Deutschland) eingetragen ist, kann man das Gehäuse Hammond RM20215S als STP-Datei herunterladen und drucken (https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Hammond-Manufacturing/RM2015S?qs=6W4OQKoqJ0vbaS7wWejjkQ%3D%3D). Das ist ein toller Support von Mouser! Allerdings sollte man auf dem Boden die Abschrägung nach unten ziehen, damit nicht soviele Supports gedruckt werden müssen. Ich denke, das ist das Gehäuse, das Peter verwendet hat. If you have an account with Mouser (Germany), you can download the Hammond RM20215S enclosure as an STP file and print it (https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Hammond-Manufacturing/RM2015S?qs=6W4OQKoqJ0vbaS7wWejjkQ%3D%3D). It's a great support from Mouser. However, you should extend the bevel on the bottom downwards so that fewer supports are required during printing. I believe this is the enclosure Peter used.

@ManiB: Die Blenden in schwarz sind für mich okay und auch default gewählt. Welche Stärke hast du da im Bild verwendet? 1.6 oder 2 mm? Bei der Platinenfarbe bevorzuge ich grün, dann kann man viel besser die Leiterbahnen verfolgen und hat im Falle eines Falles noch eine Chance. Es ist doch eh der Deckel drauf ;-) @ManiB: The black panels are fine by me – that’s my default setting anyway. What thickness did you use in the picture? 1.6 or 2 mm? As for the colour of the circuit board, I prefer green – it makes the tracks much easier to follow, and you still have the option of repairing something if the worst comes to the worst. The board is covered by the casing anyway ;-) |

Für die Druckvariante des Gehäuses (und vermutlich auch für die Kaufvariante) ist die Frontplattenstärke 1,6 mm. For the printable version of the enclosure (and presumably for the purchased version as well), the front panel thickness is 1.6 mm. Edited 2026-07-13 19:39 by v.lenzer Best wishes! Joachim |

Hab schon angefangen mir eine Selbstdruckvariante zu erstellen, die genauen Maße für Stützen etc. kann ich aber erst eintragen wenn ich das Board habe. Ich hab die Schrift 3mm erhaben gemacht, so kann man den Druck Pausieren und das Filament wechseln,oder einfach später die oberflächen mit Edding anmalen  Cheers Martin Edited 2026-07-13 21:36 by Martin H.

From my own experiments I think the actual ideal thickness is 1.5mm! For a while now I've been getting panels made as PCBs using 1.6mm material but removing the copper in a strip round the edges of both sides. This brings the thickness down nicely and you don't get a query about why there isn't any copper. It also means that you have the choice of screening the panels by soldering a wire to the inner copper. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

The PCB thickness of the front and back panels is 1.6 mm (no thicker, otherwise it won't fit into the case's guide slots). I'm also fine with the green color for the motherboard. Edited 2026-07-15 23:54 by ManiB |

Hi, falls ich zu spät bin und trotzdem bei der Bestellung ein Exemplar übrig ist.... Dann nehme ich auch eine Platine oder ein Set. Bitte kurz PM falls noch was möglich ist. Danke ! BishopXXL |

Hallo, ich bin wieder daheim. Ich habe gerade online geprüft, um die Bestellung vorzubereiten und einen Preis zu ermitteln. Leider ist der U33 schon wieder nicht verfügbar, ebenso fehlt der U38 (Leistungsschalter). Ich warte jetzt noch bis Montag. Ansonsten nutze ich die Vorab-Bauteile-Bestellung dafür und lasse dann erst fertigen. So habe ich es noch nicht gemacht, aber man lernt mit den Herausforderungen. Dann wird auch der U36 (Raspberry-Pi-Radio-Modul RMC20452T) mitbestellt. Das kostet unterm Strich nur 1,25 € mehr als die Einzelbestellung (in Deutschland) und das selber Löten! Außerdem habe ich gesehen, dass Peter einen Fehler auf dem PC3-Board gefixt hat. (https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=18919&P=6#257766) Ich verwende dann die neue Datei. Manchmal lohnt sich das Warten. @BishopXXL: Eigentlich ist es zu spät, aber du kannst ManiB fragen. Eventuell wird bei mir doch noch eins frei. Ich möchte nicht über 25 Stück gehen!

Unfortunately, the U33 is out of stock again, and the U38 (circuit breaker) is also missing. I’ll wait until Monday. Otherwise, I’ll use the advance component order option and then have it manufactured. I haven’t done it this way before, but you learn as you go. I’ll also be ordering the U36 (Raspberry Pi radio module RMC20452T) at the same time. All in all, that only costs €1.25 more than ordering it separately (in Germany) and soldering it yourself! I’ve also seen that Peter has fixed a bug on the PC3 board. (https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=18919&P=6#257766) I’ll use the new file then. Sometimes it’s worth the wait. @BishopXXL: It’s actually too late, but you can ask ManiB. I might still have one to spare. I don’t want to go over 25! I’ll send you a private message in the next few hours with my bank details or PayPal information. Matthias |

I've got a design changing the missing usb switch. Will post tomorrow |

 Hi Peter, I don’t quite understand your comment. What do you mean by ‘missing USB switch’? Do you mean the physical switch circled in green in the picture? That doesn’t seem to be an issue with the delivery and assembly. Or have I misunderstood you? @all_the_German/AT_guys: I’ve received the first payments – thank you very much!

The red circled part under the rmc2 is now out of stock. The same thing is available in a sot footprint with dual sourcing so I've replaced the qfn version. I'll post the gerbers later today |

| homa Guru Joined: 05/11/2021 Location: GermanyPosts: 672 |
I see. Is that really necessary? Every additional version just causes confusion, doesn’t it? If I’ve understood correctly, I can order the components in advance. See screenshot. Yes, the minimum order is more than 25, but it’s not worth the effort for the price, is it?  |
