Hi, does anybody know if these parts will work for the MintyPi?
The power switch looks a bit big. Exact measurements for the tactile switches are on the wiki: sudomod.com/wiki

My buttons are exact, I looked at the adafruit switch and it is the same dimensions just the black switch part at the top is tall, I think it will work just stick out a little more?

Dumb question, I picked up 3m double sided indoor mounting tape but I'm concerned with the thickness. I understand that this is essentially VHB (very high bond) but how thick is the tape that you're using?

It's 0.5mm thick, here is what I bought and it's pricey.

I wasn't able to find specs on the tape I received but do you foresee anything slightly thicker than .5mm causing a problem?

Not too much as long as everything is and placed well meaning the wires so there nothing creating bulge in the build once things are screwed down.

Finally had an opportunity to measure the tape I bought, .75mm. It's way too thick. I did a test fit l, without peeling the sides off and the board for the micro lipo blocks the properly measured hole. I'm going with good old fashioned hot glue.

The stuff I bought was scotch / 3m Indoor mounting tape rated at 10lb.

You could just cut the bottom of the base where the lipo board sits to give you a little more space.

My buttons keep turning when playing and get stuck. my parts are from the sudomod market, ds lite buttons and 3d printed. Should i shave the tabs off the buttons? Any ideas?
