Cant seem to find any info about this, so I'll just ask (and if this is in the wrong sub-forum, just move it): What is the max thickness I can use for the rear panel so that the rear IO shield can be attached without any issue? I'd guess 2 mm, but want ro make sure.

Thanks!

Thicker shouldn't be an issue. The metal bumps will be pressed against the case panel instead of wrapping around it, but that's still enough to hold it into place well. You may want to make the cutout about 0.2mm larger in every direction though.

Source: I've made many 3d printed cases up to 5mm thick.
