Title: Filing acrylic top?
Post by: rockdrummer on December 23, 2016, 07:29:08 AM

Hi, I'm going to try to file the anti rotation hole for the selector switch. I can't get it to fit. It sits about a 16th of an inch too far out.  Will the acrylic chip off or will I be okay as long as I'm going slow?

Thanks.
Ben

I'm just going to try. It will be interesting he knob anyway.
I like the light purple color I have. Almost an ice-like color.
I will post a picture when I'm done installing.

Is the hole to small or in the wrong place? On my kit the hole was tight but fit with moving it around a little.

Wrong place. I was really pushing it and I just couldn't get it to reach. I noticed I was bending the top plate while trying to force it. Just a bit too far.

Trying to post a picture. It's off way less than 1/16. But I don't want to force it.

This part is a moderately snug fit.  A bit of pressure may be all that's required.

Fits now. Looks great. I can't post a picture though. Still working on it.

Got it to post the pic.
