Guide, base and dpi adapter for G302/G303 using a G304 or G305 PCB

thingiverse

This is a guide to use an fdm printable base and dpi adapter to convert a G302 or G303 to wireless using a modified G304 or G305 PCB. If this is something you're interested in please read the guide through completely before making any decisions. If you're interested in a physical print hmu, though I'm in New Zealand so I can't guarantee that shipping costs will be good or not. Edit: 09/10/2019 - I've taken this off etsy and refunded those that bought it because I've had the change of heart that, while I've put a good fair amount of work and time into designing 3d printable parts, I don't have a good or fair understanding of the electronics involved in this project so I don't feel right about putting a price on that. I'm teaching myself about the electronics involved in this and how I can improve this design to get the best possible signal. So just to clarify, everything in the guide atm is just a recount of what I did to make what I'll call the first iteration. If I can improve the way the antenna reattaches to give the best radio frequency I will update the guide and this page, possibly the model as well if anything needs changing in that regard. One other thing, I thought the press fit receptacles were just expensive for me being in nz but it turns out they're pretty deer to other parts of the world as well so I will update the model to incorporate a solder and hot glue approach as well as trying to come up with an alternate hotswap design which I have in mind as hotglue and pla can be trouble. I will try and have an updated guide out later tonight regarding changes I have considered and will make. Edit: 11/10/2019 - Guide updated. My free trial of word expires tomorrow so if anything needs updating in the future I'll figure something out. Quick edit: When the top shell finally clicks into place when the side panels and buttons etc are all in and screwed in, the pretravel on the side buttons will be like a stock G303. The pretravel on the side buttons without the top shell is not what you can expect fully assembled as there's some play in putting the complete thing together. Edit: another way to insert the press fit receptacles is heating them up with a soldering iron and pushing them in like this https://i.imgur.com/cka0r4A.mp4
