So I was working on my scratch-built Neutrino wand and I've come accross an issue I've not heard anyone mention before. I am planning on using a standard 20 led bargraph for the main display, and this has a depth of approx 1cm (and that's before adding a proto board itself.)
However I drilled my hole for the axel of the barrel lever, which I was under the impression spanned the whole box and was connected through the body and the smaller silver disc near the heat sink. However due to the depth of it, the bottom of the bargraph looks like it's going to be in the way.
Now, I don't have very reliable dimensions for the neutrino wand, BUT I have tried to keep consistent with Stefan's plans (even though I cannot print off at full size at the moment). Is there something I am missing? At the moment I'm going to have to work a way around this. Either by bending the axel so it clears the electronics, or by anchoring it somewhere else inside the body. If I have to "re-route" the axel, it'll have to be in two parts with some kind of linkage, otherwise it'll never fit in through the hole at the lever side.
Any help or comments would be much appreciated!
