Driver too big

I know cutting the back off would fix it. I mean keeping the module in one piece. And I am TRYING to verify that it is TOO big and there is not something I am missing.
 





Silly fool, you just need to cut the driver to size. Those lines you see are cutting lines.

lol, you say the module is to spec but the driver still wont fit. I can only see one problem then, what more is there to verify.

Durrrrr
 
I REALLY hope you are joking with cutting the driver. I am new here and I was wondering to make sure this isn't a common issue with drivers before I report it.

No, its pretty common to have to cut them up sometimes. Just make sure you stay inside the lines.
 
Um I see no Lines. Can you show me what lines you are talking about? It is the same driver that o like sells. There is no where to cut it that I can see
 
You don't see lines?

Yes the driver is too big.

Solution?

Use a dremel tool to increase the size of the hole at the back of the the module so that the driver can stick out of that instead of the front and block the threads.
 
solder one end of the batteries to the resistor on the far left and the other to the capacitor to the right.
 
Oh man....

Seriously dude. You have two solutions. Cut the back of the module out or buy a new driver.

You CAN cut the driver like Pontiac said, but it's such a pain to cut that PCB material.....at least i think so.
Just make sure you use some good scissors, like trauma shears, they cut the best or a serrated knife and saw slowly.
