Very nice product at good price. MUCH better solution than sacking a real cart shell. Now i have the side mobo clips secure, not flopping around, and some serviceable resting space on top.
 
Is anybody able to get a reply from them? I am in Sweden and want to buy the products, so I used the contact us form but haven't gotten a response in a long time.
 
@Dloop He has been really busy due the pandemic but soon he will be getting restock. Have to be patient as he is working hard to get things done.

I saw that there were new items in stock, but still no replies on the form unfortunately. Guess he is busy, or my mail from the form went to the spam folder hehe.
 
He’s busy. People has been emailing him and he’s mentioned that he’s doing a lot. No worries he will reply. He’s trying his best.
 
I just got the Lions3 F3 Multi plates.

I have his MV1C MVS plates and 2 of his CPS-1 plates.

I'm a huge fan of his work.

That being said, I had some trouble getting this thing setup.

I think MOST of the issue was MINE.

The first issue I had was with the LCD housing. I couldn't get the back cover installed after with LCD was in the place.

I just ran the screws through the pcb without the back cover installed. It seemed to work out OK.

The next issue I had was that I couldn't figure out how this thing was supposed to be assembled.

I looked at as many pictures as I could find, but they didn't show me what I needed to know.

I ended up doing this:

As you can see, the F3 Multi PCB is all the way on the bottom.

I thought I had to do this because there is no matching slot for the LCD cable in the top plate.

I spent A LOT of time considering alternatives, but after 3 hours I decided this was the way I was going to go.

Please let me know if it's supposed to be setup a different way.

This is the overall look:

*** UPDATE 6/20/21 ***

I think I understand how it's supposed to be setup now.

What threw me off was:

- The slot for the LCD cable being in 1 plate but not the other
- The top of the clips not sitting even with the plates

Necro thread!

I just got one of these, the LCD holder and the top cover. There were 2 clips in the top cover, can't figure out how to attach them. Has anyone got any pics? There is instructions on how to assemble the LCD part, but not the main cover bit

I think you need to be more specific. The thread is filled with pics.

If you look at the images in the thread, the top clips don't hookup like the original clips. There's a gap. At least that's how it comes out for me.

Still working great after 2+ years.

If you want to share images of what you are having trouble with, it might help us to help you.

I don't believe they are clips, but are related? Hard to remember.

You can see the orientation of this piece in the image from my post labeled taito-side.

Here it is again.

The image is partially cut off but you can get an idea.

The clip seems to connect to this piece.

If you read my post, I also state that I had trouble finding out what to do with it. I eventually settled on what's shown.

Hopefully, this puts you on the correct path.
 
Thanks for that! i've put mine together wrong it seems, since i put the 2 top pieces of perspex on top of each other. I think i'll leave it as it though, because i have the newer darksoft kit that has both LCD and OLED and the OLED connector on the kit means i can't install it the way you did.
