so today i thought id go buy a enclosure and finally finish these devi sm vfm boards ive had sitting for like a year and a half cause i was bored beyond belief
and ive done a very bad boo boo in the process
now this enclosure was 40 dollars RIP OFF AUSTRALIA!!!
what i didnt notice when drilling for the chaos switches is that the very last one is blocked by this stupid ass screw bump thing on the other side and now the last one wont fit!!!
anyone have any ideas on how to somehow destroy the hump down so the switch will fit?
:facepalm:

A dremel would probably be the best way.

I could see a drum sander working for a lot of it too... but yeah.

Alternatively, new enclosure.

Looks awesome :thumb:

You could drill a lot of small holes in it with a tiny drill bit just to save some time if you're gonna grind it away with a Dremel attachment. Like how drilling holes in an area you're gonna chisel out helps.

That enclosure looks awesome.

Have you considered using a smaller switch?

Failing that, I agree with previous advise to hack away at the screw bulge. Dremel is great for that kind of thing.

You have enough space. Just drill a heart made out of holes, put some sort of diffused plastic inside and an led behind it. And do your switches below the heartholes.

I would say dremel as well.
You could put an led there and put a switch somewhere else, also.

an air compressor and a die grinder. like making an intake manifold for a drag civic. also, turn all your switches 22.5 degrees and you wont have to take away as much metal. :thumb:
