DirtyBeagles 3rd-ish build (Kite Board)

Post by dirtybeagles » Tue Sep 19, 2017 6:28 pm

Got lucky enough to snag one of the Kite boards the first round of orders. Been on this scene for a while now and these are starting to get a lot easier and I am so proud on how this community has come together to create some awesome custom boards and prints. Thanks to everyone for the help.

This is my third build and so far the best build in my opinion. The Kite board really helps and cuts the time of build work by a ton. I look forward to the next boards to ship. My next build will be in a clear case and very colorful.. so stay tuned.

decided to use the original DMG-01 power switch because it is a lower profile switch and fits better with the Kite board.

oh yeah.. that was hand made. i bought a cheap-o tablet cover from amazon and stuck it on there. just traced the glass cover and cut the best I could. those tablet protectors have adhesive already.

How is the screen bracket held in? It does not appear to be hot glued.

I put a small amount of glue in three places on the bracket.
