Hi,

After installing the Pistorm with Pi3B, I noticed the keyboard doesn't sit on its metal support anymore, but on the Pistorm card.
Its pushing hard on the card, especially when I try to close the A1200 case...
You can see in the pictures that the card sits at a slight angle and also the distance between the keyboard and its metal support.

I've watched some related youtube videos and haven't noticed anyone mentioning this, but on most videos I've seen they used Pi3B+ or Pi4.
Anyone here with a Pistorm32 and Pi3B installation?
Any advice on what can be done, besides trying to source another Pi, which is a pain at the moment?

Thanks!

Looking at pictures of the 3B+ and 4B, they should suffer from the same issue.
Only the 3A+, with its single USB connector and no ethernet connector, will fit better.
 
Yes there is very little room in there but my keyboard sits ok only without the Trapdoor cover in place....FYI make sure you make sure the RPI is protected from the metal underneath the keyboard .

So, you say that, even PiStorm32 Lite is compatible with 3B or 4B models, it is not recommended and only 3A+ variant will fit nicely without any problems?
