Step 11Cutout Path for Output Cable
The UPCB will be mounted in the interior of the stick, so we need to cut a path for the ribbon cable to go through.
In the picture below, you'll see the one I made. Using the Dremel, I cut a hole about 1 1/2" high by 1/2" wide. Test to make sure you can get the IDC connector through the hole. If the hole size is good, remove the ribbon cable from the hole and take a moment to clean up the work with a sharp strong knife. While we don't really care how it looks, smoothing the cut and removing any burrs will help extend the life of the ribbon cable.
