Title: Stabilizer hole orientation on a plate?
Post by: 27 on Wed, 13 April 2016, 19:53:33

I've been working on modifying the TGR-Jane files that yuksti provided, and I'm pretty unsure about the stabilizer cutout orientation.  I'll be using the GON NerD TKL PCB, so A.87 compatible.

If anyone could give me some pointers or in the right direction of some good resources that would be awesome!

Basically, does the wire side, or the other side of the stabilizer get the indent in the hole?

Depends entirely on the PCB being used.

That plate looks like it supports everything you specified there, you can double check
you can always overlay this pcb files you can get on gons site http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/manuals/131-nerd-pcbs.html
to see if it makes sense.

Red holes are PCB mount stab holes, make sure they line up with the where the plate has the slightly bigger cutouts.
