Installed these adapters into 3/4 of my boards. I put temporary colored cardboard to close up the cart slot hole. I plan on designing a 3D printed insert to close that hole up.
For me, I had to remove the cart shell to get it to fit because I have heat syncs installed on the 2 customs next to the cart slot.
here you can see the cart adapter not fully pushed into the slot, but that hump on the cart would get in the way of the heat syncs:
Removing the cart shell, it fits nicely, but the problem is the shell helped with keeping the cart more securely in the slot. Without the shell, the cart PCB is wobbly:
My solution to this was to fasten a stand-off with an adhesive base onto the cart, and stick it to the mobo to keep it secured:
Only one stand-off was needed, and luckily the screw-hole for the cart's corner sits directly over a clear space on the mobo to stick the base to:
It now fits nice and solid, no wobble or movement,
no strain. Fits in both my TRFightstick and Jasen Customs cases. This will help keep my boardsets safer, especially when I'm traveling around Southern Cali with them for our monthly tournaments.
