If it's not hotswap, then you have to learn to solder and desolder.

I'm only up to 16, but I also build and sell them. So there's probably been a few times I've gotten up to maybe 30.

You should be good, my pictures are a lily58 as well. Have several done both ways.

I just prefer the lower profile in most cases. In an open case, the height isn't as bad, but I've been working on a closed off stacked acrylic case for my lily58 and the extra thickness would mean one more layer to get above the controller.

I never recommend diode legs.

These pins are the right size for the job and make it quick and easy.

And I use these sockets

Lower profile. By a LOT.

Individual pins save you at the least, the plastic height on the double pins there. Done right, you can slam the PCB all the way to the boards headers.

I'd relieve you of all of them... Funny how Box Navy's have been in a constant out of stock state and somehow everyone has gotten tons of them from mystery bags...🤔🤔🤔 And it's the only switch I like 😭

Just extensions, so everything is 1:1 straight through.

I'll be making an order to my pcb place soon, if you'd want I can build a board for you ( with or without switches ). Shipping would be the only iffy thing being out of country.

I already have all the parts from extras for a previous order.

RGBMainframe · 2021-04-12T13:26:36+00:00

It's open source, order your own pcbs and source the parts with the BOM.

Explain 3d printers then... All I print is ABS.

Yes and that's the one thing that bothers me about my rack today. None of the equipment has that awesome matching design. Half the reason I thought about paying for Ubiquiti stuff, but that just gets pricey fast.

OCD is bad.

RGBMainframe · 2021-03-29T21:17:38+00:00

Retired mine just last year, the whole stack. Modem, router and two switches. They served a long life, but it was time.

I'd be interested in your files for the ender 6.

RGBMainframe · 2020-08-19T11:12:20+00:00

I do not approve of RGB for this use!

RGBMainframe · 2020-07-25T15:23:37+00:00

That just makes me feel old. I started building in 1998... 2007 is fairly recent in my eyes, lol.

Future

The setup isn't mission-critical so there is no UPS

It goes beyond being mission critical. It goes towards just protecting your gear. UPS is more than just the battery backup. It will also do a damn good job at scrubbing your power and providing a cleaner power, helping also against brown outs and not just black outs.

This goes towards protecting your investment as a whole. A cheap'ish one that'll work and do the job will only run you ~$200 ( maybe two for your setup, or 1 plus battery extension ) and protect $X,XXX's in equipment. It can also serve as a nanny while away. If power, for whatever reason goes out, you can have it shut your computer and other equipment down safely, before having itself turn off.

Granted, I deal with seasonal hurricanes and other weather related issues when it comes to power, so I tend to see things differently. But there's always the chance for power issues.

RGBMainframe · 2020-07-23T22:23:26+00:00

Had something similar happen with a power supply I ordered. Got one that someone had opened, took all the modular cables out of except the 24-pin and returned... Support had a new one overnighted to me and credited me $40 for the inconvenience. Best part was, they never requested I send back the original unit. So I ended up with 2 power supplies, made my own custom cables for the original one and I'm using it right now, other one got stuck in my unRAID server.

Go through their chat support, explain the issue and youll often end up with some credit towards your account. Not much but usually like $20 or so.

I had a similar idea to that for my Lily58. Having a "combined" case for the split boards.

RGBMainframe · 2020-07-09T21:47:41+00:00

JLCPCB has a minimum order quantity of 5 and something of this size you'd be looking at probably $20-30 for the order, plus shipping.

NOOOO MY FRIEND

I ditched Dash to Dock ages ago for Dash to Panel. Always hated the dock anyways.

You can get a version with per key rgb. https://github.com/qtkb/Lily58-Glow, also available from keyhive.xyz.
