What needs to be improved

  • Improve isolation of heatsink from high voltage track
  • Grounding of Encoder, GX12-5M shell, and casis.
  • Add transient protection diode
  • Improve display alignment.

Improve PCB high voltage track isolation from heatsink.

Using capton tape as additional layer

Grounding of Encoder and GX12-5M

Adding a transient protection diode.

Improve OLED Display alignment w/ front panel.

To make the front pcb more parallel with the front panelI’ve added a spacer (a piece of solid wire) on the encoder side. Other option was to desoldered the GX12-5M and relocate the washer to the front side, but this one requires a lot of effort. The display was resoldered so that would sit more closely with the cutout in the front panel
