Very nice
I would suggest you cut that fire button out, looks very close to your wiring.
Mamu has a cool method of doing it, but like a needle in a forum haystack to find it.

I think I might have actually got this from Mamu, dont remember.
If you snip the 2 leads closest to the outside edge of the board with some flush cut wirecutters then grab the switch and rock it back and forth, the other 2 leads will break off real close to the board as well. Works like a charm!
Hehe....unless you have a worn out pair of cutters and it pulls the trace on the board, then there is no going back
.....It only happened to me once because the POS cutters got throw away right then like they should have long before. But usually if your removing the button your not worried about putting it back.

hi okdoiez !
looks great !! like bap said careful using edge cutters ..sharp and new maybe , I had good luck using a dremel with a cut of wheel.
don't put any stress on the board.

Well done okdokiez!!
I posted about this quite some time ago in my Milo how-to or maybe it was Stealthy, but I've been removing the onboard fire button as Mike mentioned. Easy peasy!!
I remove it whether I have the space for it or not as I don't want anything to inadvertently press that button. Some of my mods are packed tight.
If you lose the traces or the pads under that button, no big deal as they're just for that button anyway.
I remember the first time I lost a trace - I was like omg I'm screwed.
But after having about a year of practice, I've learned to come into the lead with a high angle on the cutters, snip it, then snip the other lead, then rock the button back and forth til it breaks away. Haven't lost any traces doing it that way.
And like bap said, having sharp cutters helps a LOT lol.
