Hi Guys,

I've finally assembled my DIY adapter and everything is working fine !

However .. I cant stand having it "naked" without a case or anything.
How did you solve your case problems? Did you use a matchstick box? 3d printed case or ordered one? I'd love to get some ideas :)

Heat-shrink tubing also does the job very well :)

Hey roenick, is that glue you are using? If so, what kind?

It is hot glue, you can buy it in every hobby shop. It is cheap and good.

The hot glue gun is one of my favorite tool :)
It's absolutely essential!

I'd actually thought how to improve Matlo adapter design and heat-shrik tube he uses is tbh the best and most cost effective sollution.

The only thing i came up with was to replace standard usb cp2102 with female microusb so You just need 2x 1,5m regular usb micro to usb vables instead of a single long cable, device adapter is also much smaller
