Case BOM could use some clarifications #11

Open Visne opened 1 year ago

Hi, I'm a little bit confused about the BOM for the case. Specifically, for M2x5mm Standoffs it's not entirely clear whether 5mm refers to the height or the outer diameter of the standoff. It would also be nice if the other measurement could be added (I think 5mm refers to the height, but I'm not entirely sure what the outer diameter should be then).

For the brass insert nuts, it's not completly unambigious which measurement refers to the height/outer diameter, so perhaps you could add something like (dxHxD) and then clarify that d refers to inner diameter, H refers to height, and D refers to outer diameter in the text above (same for the standoffs).

I was also wondering whether you could add AliExpress links to the table, because for the M2 standoffs I'm currently not exactly sure what I should be buying (should they also be brass insert nuts?)

Thank you!

@KarlK90 hope it's okay to ping you

@Visne thanks for the reminder. You want this kind of brass standoffs:

There used to be Aliexpress links in the BOM but they became obsolete in a matter of months so I removed them, as maintaining them is unfortunately not a viable option for me.

That is a good idea, I'll add those.

Thank you and I wish you lots of fun with your YAEMK.

Thank you, that's very helpful!

Yeah, that's understandable. I wonder if it would somehow still be possible to link to an image, just so it's clear what the part looks like, so you have a bit of an idea what you're looking for. Taking the image directly is probably not possible because of copyright, but perhaps you could link to an Internet Archive snapshot?
