Is it okay to shave off the hard plastic (the bulky black holder piece) till its malleable enough to be bent 90 degree?
If yes, any tips to do this reliably/safely?
Pic for reference. Maybe shaves off half way up from the blue 20 pin till the 20 pin wires exposed? [attachmentid=9418684]

Normally it's fine to do so. But it is a bit tough to shave it with just a knife. Will recommend have a dremal , use a sanding tip and sand it away easily. Or otherwise use a steel file. If the pins are exposed you best have something to protect it afterward, epoxy or stuff. But tbh sometime it's really best to spent little money to get proper finished products you wanted instead of screwing up mod attempt. If you want cheap prices there's no better place than Taobao. Or otherwise look at the garage sales section, find someone like niclasteoh see of he have something useful. I only found one angled-20pin on Taobao., RMB18 only. https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.htm...id=558776384392This post has been edited by digitalifelesss: Dec 10 2017, 01:31 PM
