Vortex Aluminum Filco Case

[dirge]

I think on mine the USB connection is the point the pressure is on.  If I press on the pause key there's flex there, but I never press hard anyway.

I guess it depends on how perfect you want things.  Works fine for me, sure I will at some point put something underneath to act as standoffs to take the pressure off the teensy/usbcable.  But I'm not in any hurry.

well as long as there would be clearance for the teensy, it seems absolutely possible to create a special fitted mount for the phantom with SUGRU, the stuff sticks fine to aluminium, you can shape it to almost anyway and sand it to a perfect fit and it sets to be almost rock hard in less than 20 hours. I've got a vortex case currently with a CMStorm QFR Rapid and im going to give it a try when i get the phantom. worst case scenario is the case stays with the CMStorm lol.

I was thinking about using plastiform.  Just need boiling water, when it cools its rock hard.  Great stuff.

After reading the entire thread and being none the wiser; have anyone tried fitting a Shine 3 yet?
Would be quite nice to know before ordering one and paying taxes and all

I think WhiteFireDragon tried with a Ducky Shine YOTD or something. It almost fit, but you will have to file 0.5mm of off each side of the plate. The question is, is the pcb/plate on the Shine 3 same as the Shine 2? I think so, but someone else here should probably know for sure.

To the people that got the Phantom in place, how high and what areas of the PCB are you supporting with wood/rubber/styrofoam?  Thanks in advance.

The Phantom doesn't fit for several reasons.
There is no lip on the plate (adapters can fix that), but what is not so easy to solve is the fact that the controller doesn't fit into the case, it hangs down and hits the bottom.  I've heard of some notching or even cutting out the bottom of case to give it room. Not an ideal solution, but a practical one. You also might be able to relocate it, but where, I have no idea.


This posts talks about it a bit.

Hi everyone,

I know this is a pretty old thread already, but I'm planning  on buying one of these cases. But the question is: Do they fit the custom costar controller from bpiphany ? 

I've read through the thread and saw jdcarpe says yes while WFD video says no, so I'm a bit confused.
