Well, cool, but I think it's better in the Wheelwriter like he did it.

Thanks for sharing. So bolts vs. screws or combination of both?

Go with nuts and bolts like he did, so that it will be more robust.

Hi, I've bolt modded a wheelwriter

I did it similarly

I followed a guide on geek hack for model m, since it's a nearly identical process

I was a bit more careful on drilling the holes and getting it just right...also i would suggest putting the membrane on by itself since there are some plastic clips that hold it against the plastic, if you don't get it through them and you put all the bolts on, the membrane might end up being misaligned

I also used a teensy to convert it to usb
