Hi Sir , Please kindly note that the space between with these slots need 4mm at least as below arrow ,which will break off easily in the production , so that we will cancel it and then you will modify it and then to replace the correct one ,thanks -- JLCPCB

I am considering increasing the edge thickness for the next version; but this would mean that the previous PCB / Plate files will be incompatible with this new version. (It will be possible to assemble but the edges won't match)

It might be a good idea to release a v1.1 with the new features and old edge, to maintain backward compatibility, and after that release v2.0 with the new features and new edge.

I have decided to not increase the outer edge. If JLC doesn't want to print it you can try another printing service like allpcb or pcbway or you can laser cut it from a metal sheet using the DXF file.
