shared by these.
1 - shared problem. The material between the modules is too thick and the
modules will no longer fit a standard rail
2 - Unique problem to the metal - even at only 1/8 inch wide, they covered
some screen that is close to the edge on 1Us.<<
Since I don't have metal rails to try it with I can't say for sure, but I
believe this doesn't share the same problem. The wood is very thin, only
about 1/32" thick on the part that separates the modules. So if you have
less than a 1/32" gap between modules, then you are out of luck.
You're right, the wood doesn't have the 2nd problem. The total width of the
separator is 3/16", which is just perfect and doesn't cover any silkscreen.
But here is a possible problem. What happens if I want to pull out a module
that is not on the end of a row of modules? I don't know, because this
particular I-beam shape kind of locks the modules together. So I may just
have to remove modules from the edge of the case up to the module I want to
remove if I need to do that. Or I was thinking perhaps cutting off a leg to
make it a J-beam shape might help. Or if there is enough friction, just a
T-beam shape that could just be pushed inbetween the modules. I'm starting
to wonder if there's a plastic store around here. If so, I might be able to
make my own. It might require some delicate Dremel work though.
