Thanks for the tip for spray adhesive. I never heard about such product before. My local hw store didnt have 3M's product, but another brand, GHIANT RE-TAC REPOSITIONABLE MOUNTING SPRAY, which works the same way.
Now my bezel sits perfectly flat and doesnt fall of when inverted, but is still easy to peel off.
(... still waiting in excitement for the "offocial" steel bezel)

Re: C43 bezel expected when?
So, any estimate as to when the metal key plates are going to be available?

[ HP48/49/50/42S/WP34/HP Prime/ DM42 (#00185+00318) ]
Re: C43 bezel expected when?
Well yes. But now the C47 bezels are underways?
Will they make it, before the next keyboard change

Re: C43 bezel expected when?
Not underway yet; to share some internal steps: We finalized the layout for the release 108_09. It is brand new. I am picking up my two paper photo prints that I ordered to be cut for my two C47's this morning. Will I be happy? Who knows. Will the group be happy? Who knows. Will you be happy? Who knows.
My appointment to finalise the CAD files is Tuesday coming - who knows what will happen before literally freezing the files in 3 days only
It is like an air ticket for the holidays - until you are in the plane, you are not travelling!

Re: C43 bezel expected when?
Let's just hope there's an airplane in the first place ... (I refer to the deceitful UK Govt that paid ~£14m to a non-shipping company for shipping services that obviously never materialized)
Count me in for a couple though. As I mentioned to Rudi, if (when?) these overlay bezels are conveniently available then SM could possibly see a rise in orders of the DM42.
Very best success. Hopefully your enthusiasm and hard work will be rewarded.
Re: C43 bezel expected when?
Did anybody think of blank overlays, too? And ordered a hundred?

Re: C43 bezel expected when?
What would we do with blank overlays?
BTW, as far as I'm concerned, changing the layout is not cool. The added value is very low except to satisfy the geekness of people who are able to obsess over details on the Internet for months (and this is said kindly from someone who wrote a FX-702p emulator as well as other contributions and cut his C43 overlays with a laser).
But for most of the people who already use the calculator, have overlays, are familiar with a layout, this is just a pain in the ass.
At least, supporting the misc layout versions in the firmware would allow us to choose whether we have to change our overlays and habits just to get the new functions and bug fixes.
