Title: Spirit FaceW compatibility question
Post by: pixelpusher on Thu, 16 March 2017, 15:51:52

Wondering if anyone out there has placed a FaceW PCB in one of the fat lipped tex cases (that have support bars).  Need to know if they are compatible.

facew is a poker PCB so it should work

To be more clear, what I'm worried about is the diodes on the back coming into contact with the metal horizontal supports in that particular case. I used the acrylic version of that case for my s60-x build and I had to dremel out some of the plastic where it was making contact with components on the back of the pcb.

It sounds like you're saying it should be exactly the same as a pok3r PCB though, so maybe it's not an issue.

Aha!  I found my answer:
