The Tape Panel print went well. I can't say enough about the Hilbert Curve Top Layer infill option in PrusaSlicer for getting a nice even looking matte finish.
As you can see I had to print this in two pieces so the first order of business is to connect them together. I printed some braces to assist with this task. I use some gel superglue along the edges and to attach the braces.
Next I installed the Flip-Byte unit to the panel with four 3 mm x 10 bolts. The holes in the Flip-Byte are sized to self thread.
Then it's a simple matter of adding the control buttons and the Tape Head current position lamps.
That's it the Tape Panel is ready to be wired into the rest of the project.
