August 19, 20187 yr Got my cases just fine Gael, thanks! Just some notes from preliminary investigation: For anyone who wants to replace the included fasteners (which are actually pretty nice!), the corner screw threading is 6-32 imperial. The top/bottom screw threading is 4-40 imperial. Yes, they are actually threaded and not the crappy sheet metal screws that you often find on this. Both are countersunk on all cases (I believe; Gael, correct me if that is wrong). Fit seems to be good on the Alpha case. I haven't tried the TKD case yet.
August 20, 20187 yr I think you people will be rather pleased with what this group buy had gotten you, and mucho thanks to Gael for organizing/laying it out/and running it! Still screwing around with fasteners and may still order some black SS. M3 metric other than the case screws, which are imperial. Edited August 20, 20187 yr by Pars
August 20, 20187 yr Author All final prices are now posted. Shipped 5 boxes today, I'll PM the tracking numbers

Chris will you be getting the front and back screws with phillips or allen heads? I'd love to get some allen ones for the front and back.
August 20, 20187 yr I’ll be using Allen heads. The buildees have indicated that they are fine with non SS black oxide fasteners though. The 2 places I found the black SS in non-case quantities are Accugroup (UK) and fastener-express IIRC.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
August 21, 20187 yr I'm more concerned about phillips head getting worn out. Ss is a side benefit for me. Do you have a link for the akkugroup product? I might have better shipping rates and then ship to you.
August 21, 20187 yr I received my case yesterday. It looks great! I am looking forward to what looks like a fun project. Thanks for all your hard work.

August 22, 20187 yr Maybe check if modelfixings.co.uk have what you need?. Should be cheaper and they have been totally reliable for me in the past.
August 22, 20187 yr Thanks. I’ll have to check them out. I found what I needed at fastener-express.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
August 23, 20187 yr That's a beauty right there. Kinda regret not getting the cases since the boards has no standoff mounting holes.

August 25, 20187 yr Author All boxes have been shipped except for three international packages that need a special flat rate box that the post office doesn't typically carry. Apparently a plain box with the same dimensions isn't good enough. I mean it is, but it adds $20 to shipping Edited August 25, 20187 yr by cspirou
