overview - 2 types manufactured initially

* 350 with full-round plexi window

* 150 with 36*17mm (centrally positioned) rectangular plexi window. Also 10 drills: 9xdia=3.05mm for throughole LEDs and 1xdia=5.1mm for pushbutton (Jorgen defined the coordinates in dxf in Smalldisplay_case.zip file). Note that this design does NOT have any O-ring

* 500+ pushbutton caps with appr. 5mm dia, 9.5 .. 10mm total height (slightly rounded top, height at center is 0.5mm bigger than at circumference). Total height formula: 9.5mm = BA5612GWA + plexi+ stickout - SDTM620 = 8+3+ stickout - 4.15 mm where stickout=2.65 mm (central part sticks out 2.65 mm when unpressed. Circumference sticks out less than 2mm, and just tiny bit more than 1mm when pressed)

* 400 + 400 + 400 round plexi plates (400 of each color: fully transparent, reddish and green-darkgrey-ish )

* 400 straight top and bottom (but rounded at left and right side) plexi frontplates, green-darkgrey-ish only.

* necessary tools

* small CNC changes for next series to easy assembly

Added:
* 0 (postponed) with 36*17mm (centrally positioned) rectangular plexi window. Also 10 drills: 9xdia=3.05mm for throughole LEDs and 1xdia=5.1mm for pushbutton (Jorgen defined the coordinates in dxf in Smalldisplay_case.zip file). Note that this design does NOT have any O-ring

** 0 (postponed, it would fit above also postponed case) straight top and bottom (but rounded at left and right side) plexi frontplates, green-darkgrey-ish only.

* 500+ pushbutton caps with appr. 5mm dia, 9.5 .. 10mm total height (slightly rounded top, height at center is 0.5mm bigger than at circumference). Total height formula: 9.5mm = BA5612GWA + plexi+ stickout - SDTM620 = 8+3+ stickout - 4.15 mm where stickout=2.65 mm (central part sticks out 2.65 mm when unpressed. Circumference sticks out less than 2mm, and just tiny bit more than 1mm when pressed). Beware that there are 2 different height button-caps manufactured

* 400 + 400 + 400 round plexi plates (400 of each color: fully transparent, reddish and green-darkgrey-ish ) with a 5mm drill at 14 mm from center (so either 5mm throughole LED or 5mm CNC-lathed pushbutton cap fits)

Changed:
at the PCB was originally 48mm. This needs to be fixed by a design change: the undersized internal dia steps up to appr. 48.8mm. More than 49.2mm will result in too thin wall that can be a problem during manufacturing). We have the autocad files that we should fix before 2005-06-19, at the same time as the bezel.
TODO: determine final size: 48.5 mm? or 48.6 mm ?
Changed:
Free to change
Free to change. Don't shrink the internal dia with more than 1mm because it effects look.

* Jörgen Karlsson. Good knowledge about the tools and procedures, good sense for the mechanical function of the finished product and cost for the solution. Fair sense of the estetics. But I'm not close to our current manufacturing facility and do not use the same primitive tools (like using Corel draw to make the parts.) as the manufacturing facility we are currently using. (40hrs/month)
