[QUOTE="EnterpriseFreak, post: 10227221, member: 567996"] I don't think removing the screws in favor of a design that uses clips would really save that much space (maybe 1mm at most) to be honest with you. That design has about the size of a Switch game cart and they're already pretty small. Most of the added width comes from the changes I made to how the plug part of the dongle is inserted into the shell now. In the original design it more or less was a yolo approach, get the USB-C port to align with the hole somehow and push the plug in as hard as you can until its notches comes out from the two small holes in the shell. The new design uses a much more sane approach by having a dedicated mounting spot for the plug part. You slide it in, make sure its all the way in there and then push the crimp contacts into the openings (and maybe add some hot glue then to make sure they won't slide out of there later on). If you make any mistakes with aligning the USB-C port or whatever, maybe you accidentally used a Wii U plug for a Wii dongle you can just undo that mistake by removing the connector again and replacing it with the appropriate one. With the old notches design you pretty much had to destroy the entire print at that point to get to the guts to fix any mistake you may have made. --- EDIT: Two more things I didn't think about mentioning before: - The screws theoretically speaking can be replaced using a thin but strong adheasive. Not the best solution but a solution regardless of that (And with a thin enough adheasive it might not even be visible). - PLA becomes rather stiff once it has cooled off after printing which could become an issue with a clip system instead of screws. Sure, you could *probably* blow some hot air using a hair dryer or similar on the material to soften it up temporarily but I still find screws to be a better solutions than clips. [/QUOTE]

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
