FYI, it’s not just the 4PM cases. My clear case came with the same hole missing.

I was just checking my 4PM kit for the missing hole but I found out this ( see attached image )

1 – Is this green bar normal ?
2 – Which hole am I supposed to be checking ?

...although unlike bananas, Shruthi-1 case are not edible, so please take care ;-)

They ARE edible, but not so much digestible.

;)

I am speaking hypothetically, of course… More of a public service announcement.

Yo Guys,

sorry for all that inconvenience, i swapped the machine that sometimes forgot to cut some lines (i sorted out the easier to spot mistakes by hand like missing Pot Holes…) and got back my old one so hopefully this won’t happen anymore. If you have Issues with clear cases, please contact me directly via Mail for a replacement, i sadly have no white Plexi left else i would do the replacements myself instead of you bothering Olivier.

Again, sorry for these mistakes.

@oliv
Could this be a very old case (one wich was delivered in an old reused sheet of thick glossy paper) ?

Please try flipping the Side panels inside out and rotating them 180°. There is a combination that works (i tested them all…)

if nothing works, send me a mail and follow the akward instructions that try to keep you away from a replacement ;-) – honestly if it really doesn’t work ill replace them.

Some of the Glossy Cases had an issue that the supposedly right angles have a slight deviation of some Arcseconds. If cut with a Saw this is no Problem, if cut with a Laser the precision is that high that this leads to a slightly bent (we are talking of 100s of millimeters) case. If you then install a Sidepanel the wrong way the Case would be bent a bit above the overall precision level hence the Panel doesn’t fit. Its a matter of the right combination of the inside/outside of Bottom and Sides (sadly the parts without engraving), so you have 2x4x4 = 32 possible combination of which only one fits. Unfortunately this is the combination thats natural to test when taking the Panels out of the Machine so some of the cases slipped thru “Quality Check” before we spotted the Problem…..

The missing Holes Problem is from the replacement Machine i had while my original Machine was away to solve the first problem….

Be assured everything is back to nominal parameters right now.

But which hole are we supposed to be checking?
Thanks!

I have missing right hole too in my 4PM ))

I’ve got a missing hole on my box as well, I think I’ll just drill it rather than have you go through the trouble of sending another though!

You may try to drill one, if so please start with a 1 or 1,5mm leading hole. Use a sharp drill and be patient, don’t push.

I used a dremel with its drill presss, drilled the missing hole by eye, directly with the final diameter, and it went perfectly well. Those cases are very easy to drill, there’s no worry to have if you own the right tools.
