Does anyone have a source file with these labels?

Well well,

after ordering 2 piece on PCBWay.com using Mechatrommer's updated Front Bezel SDL  ... as I liked to have them in black O;)

Received them ALL as heavy sandwiched in one cartoon box:

- one part of the middle strap broken

- all middle strap as as heavy curved, finally all broke...

- Bezel as deformed not straight as original on table

- even one dummy plug side broken as very thick

IMHO the 3D model requires some modifications, so the middle strap gets not broken closed to the connection main frame parts.

Also asking/looking for a slim floppy adapter to hold w USB connector...

Look attached about the disaster..

Mechatrommer:
you can ask pcbway later again to do support on the fragile overhang.. i cant get to editing the model yet as i'm doing other work.. when i can get back to it, i think i will redo in one go the model for msla printing tolerance. the model i published was for abs/pla filament 3d printer with 0.3mm nozzle tolerance. so its not a straight forward job. ymmv.

The shipping parcel was the issue, as order (2 bezel's and some adapters) sandwiched all in one thin parcel. The parcel itself was OK, but inside any deformation happened.
 
Using FreeCAD & tutorial, I could build  the solid 3D model using 0.01 tolerance. But to remove on the middle strap all this half holes  |O and made the middle strap straight  :palm:

As PCBway as JLCPCB has more plastic options to select (online ordering system looks as equal).

The RESIN Black I used, IMHO to fragile, so PC (polycarbonat) as also in black would be the better option but about 80EU's.

Today I finally received the front bezel I had JLCPCB 3D print for me in ABS (off white). It took a bit longer to receive it because Fedex tried to deliver twice, then loaded it onto the wrong truck which still counted as the third delivery attempt so they send it back to China. JLCPCB's helpdesk sorted things out though and re-shipped the package.

The front bezel I received is perfectly straight although I got the usual remarks that some areas are too thin. It does look very 3D printed though. The curves in the original bezel are smooth where the 3D printed one clearly shows steps. I had to make a few adjusts with a file. The hole for the power button was slightly too small and the left side didn't want to close up but the latter problem can be cause by the frame being bent a bit. The oscilloscope got banged up a bit at some point. The Lecroy badge also doesn't fit but that cracked into pieces when I tried to remove it. Such crappy plastic  |O

Still the result looks way better than it was with the original bezel that had cracked again after painstakingly glueing it together.



A huge thumbs up for Mechatrommer to make these 3D files available  :-+  :-+ Thank you very much!
