These are printed to order, estimated time for shipment is 5-7 days.
Aquire the following parts
- 1 40-pin "IDE" male-female extension cable, 4 inch length
It needs to be an extension, with one male and one female connector.
The direction the cable exits the connector on the male end matters. The cable should go awayfrom the key notch in the side of the connector.
No extra fold / strain relief clip on the male connector.
No special requirements for the female connector.http://www.cablesonline.com/240pinidedir.html
Change “Available Lengths: 4 inches FI-004” - 4 flat-head #8 x 3/4" sheet metal or wood screws
I prefer stainless steel as well but that's just a preference.
Self-tapping would be better (less likely to break the screw posts the first time the screws are run in) but those are not common at your local hardware store, and standard sheet metal screws like the examples below are fine.On-Line:

3 - Assembly
Unplug the cf reader from the MISE.
Remove the 4 nylon stand-offs from the screw holes on the MISE.
Plug the female end of the 40 pin extension cable into the MISE where the cf reader used to be.
Use an angled pick/probe tool to clean out the two cf retainer clip slots. FDM printers generally leave junk inside those.
Lay the cf reader flat in the small tray formed into the corner of the top_cover, with the lights and jumpers up facing you. The white CF slot on the back side of the cf reader fits exactly into that tray.
Looking down into the top_cover with the cf reader in the top-left corner, insert the bent end of the retainer clip into the slot to the right of the cf reader.
Swing the retainer clip down over the cf reader, and slide the straight end into the slot to the left of the cf reader, attached to the screw post.
Push the retainer clip forward until it snaps firmly in place.
If anything seem too stiff or doesn't seem to fit, make sure those slots are really cleaned out.
Turn the top_cover around so the cf reader is to your right and close to you, and the round hole on the rear wall is away from you.
Hold the MISE upside down with the network jack away from you.
Angle the network jack down into the rear wall away from you. Rest the rear side of the MISE on the two rear screw posts, keep the front side of the MISE lifted up.
Connect the male end of the 40 pin extension cable onto the cf reader.
Lay the front edge of the MISE down, pay attention that the network jack pokes into the square hole in the rear wall as you swing the front edge down.
Press the 4 rubber feet onto the FLAT side of the base_plate, just inside of the screw holes (right next to each screw hole, towards the center of the plate rather than towards the outside edge).
Place the base_plate on top of the MISE, with the short risers down, touching the MISE (ie with the new feet up).
Make sure the screw holes line up. The screws are closer to the rear wall and further away from the front wall.
The base_plate should now be flush with the edge of the top_cover.
Install the 4 screws. Don't over-tighten. 3d-printing is not super strong.
DONE!
