Erica Synths enclosure red filter?

I'm trying to figure out what to do with the red LCD filter/plexi that comes with the Erica enclosure.

If I stick to the case there will be sticky glue facing out…
If I stick it to the LCD there will be a gap…

What have other people done?

I used a little bit of super glue on the corners and put it on the underside. You don't need a whole lot. I believe that's what most have done.

Alright I'll give that a try. For some reason I thought one side of it was covered in sticky tape.

I also just noticed the four scale LED's don't fit in their respective holes…

yeah, I also asked someone how he did it and it worked fine this way.. just use a bit of super glue (really just a bit, you don't want it to float in the "window area")..

about the LED standoffs, there are still the wrong ones in the BOM.. maybe e-licktronic should update it :mrgreen:

I actually ordered the "right" LED standoffs.
The issue seemed to be too much paint build up on the case. I took a drill bit and cleaned them out a bit, now all the LED's fit through the holes :)

I think I'll have to do the same for the tact switches, some of them are pretty tight…
In retrospect I should have placed the PCB in the case with the all the switches before soldering so I'd get better alignment. Oh well.
