@mos_8502 Aah that'll do it.

@mos_8502 Hmm, well glad I asked, my housing in CAD comes to 17.1mm...
I suspect I have the depth on that rear pin guard wrong. Probably too fiddly to measure it directly, but if you can give me from the shroud to the rear surface of the body not including that guard piece (highlighted in attached), I can hopefully rule out everything else and just fix that one dimension and reroll the footprints.
-
@mos_8502 Maybe this is also one of those good enough things, half a mm with calipers on soft plastic isn't unbelievable as variance... So if that measurement turns up nothing, shrug I can adjust the design and leave a note in the footprint to sandbag a little on placement in case the dimensions aren't spot on
-
@danderson To be clear, you want the measurement from pin-side of the flange bit to the rear edge of the main body?
-
@mos_8502 Sorry, I suck at explaining. In side view, either of these two dimensions:
-
@danderson This one IÂ read 13.4mm
-
@mos_8502 ok that's bang on what I have in the design file (ignore the 13.7 in the pic that's a janky off-square measurement).
I think it's this dimension I have wrong, the design has 2.4mm, any chance it's more like 3mm-ish?
-
@danderson IÂ read 2.88mm
-
@mos_8502 And there's my error! Phew, all 0.5mm accounted for. Looks like nothing, but that would have sucked. Just pushed updated 3D models with the right depth. F.Fab layer in the footprints is still off, those'll be fixed in a dozen minutes or so
-
@mos_8502 Footprints updated with the bigger outline too. On reflection I deleted the Edge.Cut line from the footprints, I assumed it would be a "do not cross" line when drawing the board, but you're supposed to chop up your board outline and connect to the edge in the footprint... Which makes sense for weird shapes like card edge connectors, but as a reference line... meh. I figure you know better than me where to place these on your design

@mos_8502 Feedback welcome if you're like anything tweaked. I'll keep fighting freecad to get nicer texturing and I'll let you know if I get anywhere! I look forward to seeing more 65X in my feed
