I decided to give the YZ slices a try, to find out what the new form factor would feel like. This is my mill, after making a mess:

Some of the pieces on the left side also have larger partial holes for the screw head or a nut. That way, I can use the screws I have at home, which would be a bit too short to span the entire width. And it's also neater if no parts of the screws protrude. Here is a size check of the assembled package: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/dummy-aaa/dummy-aaa-width.jpg http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/dummy-aaa/dummy-aaa-height.jpg This is what it looks like compared to the CR2032 case design: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/dummy-aaa/dummy-aaa-comparison.jpg There is a fair bit of room for side walls and the battery contacts: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/dummy-aaa/dummy-aaa-battery.jpg And it also feels like a natural match for single-handed operation: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/dummy-aaa/dummy-aaa-held.jpg - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
