FYI I marked up the Ettus B210 Plates drawing to fit the Hammond 1455L1601 face plates. I never got a reply from Takachi when inquiring about the enclosure, and someone else posted on the list that the Hammond case fits nice, and it is available from Mouser in the US. It’s really just a matter of shifting X coords by -3.6 mm and Y coords by +2.4mm. Cut back the enclosure 8 mm to fit with the provided ABS bezels, and the SMA flats will be flush with the plates. Also, if you use a 1/8” end mill to cut a slot for the USB3, it fits the connector shroud nicely and provides mechanical support. The DC jack coordinates are also offset for the width of an 1/8” end mil. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49570443/b200_hammond_1455L1601.pdf https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49570443/b200_hammond_1455L1601_a.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49570443/b200_hammond_1455L1601_b.jpg Lou, KD4HSO

I bought the Hammond case and have my B200 arriving this week. You only get one shot with the case, so I'm hoping I can cut everything cleanly with the tools I have on hand.

What’s the saying, measure twice, cut once? Those dimensions are what I measured as I became frustrated trying to calculate the offset from the original enclosure drawing. What you could do is lay it out on paper, print to scale, then you’ll have a template. Could also slide the board in the enclosure and photocopy/scan the face, for a quick n’ dirty template, although photocopiers have some scaling error. As long as you have a center punch and drill pilot holes, you should be good. Hammond does claim to sell extra face plates.

what about printing fitting face plates with a 3D printer? Anybody tried this? regards, Michael DG4FEO > What’s the saying, measure twice, cut once?
