PhobGCC Version 2.0.5 Ordering Guide

This is an illustrated guide to acquiring all the parts you need to assemble a PhobGCC v2.0.5.

Required Parts

The following parts are unique to the PhobGCC and must be acquired per this guide, with no non-identical substitutions.

The following parts are standard to a GCC and can be acquired via a number of different ways, some of which will be outlined here.

There are two main ways to acquire a PhobGCC v2.0.5 Board. The first way is if you intend to only build a single controller, you can contact a local modder in your region using this map to see if they have spare for sale. Alternatively, you can also check Etsy or eBay as some often appear for sale. If you cannot find a single board for sale or you intend to build more than one PhobGCC, you can order the boards directly from a board house. These instructions will be for JLCPCB and Elecrow.

Parts You Don’t Need

Don’t acquire these, because they’re not necessary or won’t work with PhobGCC 2.0.5 at all:

Purchasing the PhobGCC v2.0.5 board

If you have a GCC modder in your area, consider buying a board from them.

Otherwise, you can purchase premade boards directly from Elecrow, which stocks 4 common colors at very reasonable prices.

If you plan on ordering around 50 boards or more, or if you want more unusual colors, you should submit a traditional PCB order by following the Elecrow Ordering Guide.

Optional: Purchasing LR Trigger Paddles

If you don’t or can’t use OEM GCC Trigger paddles, you can order trigger paddles separately.

First, you can download the files available in the PhobGCCv2-HW Github in the releases section as shown below:

PHOB2_PADDLE_RELEASE

Click “Order Now” on JLCPCB, make sure you are set to “Standard PCB/PCBA” tab, click “Add Gerber File”, and upload the Trigger_Paddle_Gerbers.zip. Once the files are uploaded, you should see the board process and then load in as shown below:

TRIGGER_BOARD

Once you’ve checked that the size is set to 9.7x41.72mm, you can progress with configuring it. The recommended settings are the defaults, setting your board quantity, setting “Different Design” to 2, and setting the Surface Finish to ENIG, as seen below:

NOTE: IF YOU ORDER MORE THAN 30, THE OPTION FOR DEBURRING/EDGE-ROUNDING APPEARS. IT’S RECOMMENDED TO ENABLE IT!

NOTE2: SINCE THESE BOARDS ARE SO SMALL, THE QUANTITY DOESN’T CHANGE THE PRICE. WE SUGGEST ORDERING PLENTY SINCE ITS CHEAP. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 20 AND 200 IS $18.

TRIGGER_SETTINGS

You can then click “Save To Cart” and pay for your boards.

Optional: Purchasing DH1H1 Magnet Mounts

If you can’t source magnet mounts locally or via Etsy, you can order them from JLCPCB.

DO NOT USE THESE WITH MAGNETS OTHER THAN DH1H1.

First, you can download the files available in the PhobGCCv2-HW Github in the releases section as shown below:

PHOB2_MAGNET_RELEASE

Click “Order Now” on JLCPCB, make sure you are set to “3D Printing” tab, click “Add 3D Files”, and upload the DH1H1_Magnet_Holder_JLCPCB.STL. Once the file is uploaded, you should see it render as shown below:

MAGNET_MOUNTS

The recommended settings are SLS Nylon. You then set the product description to Other -> Fastener as shown below

NOTE: QUANTITY 1 GETS YOU 10 MOUNTS, WHICH IS ENOUGH FOR 2.5 PHOBS. 2 GETS YOU 20 MOUNTS FOR 5 PHOBS. MAKE SURE YOU ORDER ENOUGH!

MAGNET_SETTINGS

You can then click “Save To Cart” and pay for your mounts.

NOTE: If you get asked about wall thickness, click “Yes” and confirm. It’s okay

Purchasing Other PhobGCC Parts

The remaining parts can be purchased from distributors as listed below.
