Description

Hello, first of all thank you for that great project. I purchased the shield together with the RTK postcard and I really love it.
In the first step I connected the two boards using standard male/female headers that were laying around on my workbench.
(just as shown on the image here https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-rtk-postcard.html)

After having printed the housing (from this repository) I found out that the distance between the two boards is too large (by around 6,5mm) and the
housing can not be closed.

Could you please provide a second STEP file that is around 7mm higher so that all the users like me who do not want to solder both boards together
can use it? Or is there another way to "stretch" the housing the right way?
Thanks in advance. KH

Research direction

Start by locating the repository's housing model and STEP file, then compare the board spacing for standard male/female headers with the printed housing dimensions. Provide an alternate housing approximately 7 mm taller, and verify that the boards fit and the housing closes.
