Well that took a lot longer than I anticipated! I pulled the trigger on the Eggtimer Mini w/the LCD and gps module. I was originally planning to do a BlackAero case, but kinda went a different direction. Stumbled across Inverted Pursuit Lab's design, and liked it, but wanted to tweak it a bit to my liking. I wasn't planning on using the audio out function so I removed it from the faceplate, and didn't bother with the Yagi antenna. I also swapped out the switches / buttons in the original design with some switches I had laying around from a previous project. All in, the Eggtimer build was quite fun. I had an oops, where I accidentally got a bit of solder into one of the holes that the processor chip goes into during the LCD build. I didn't know this, and ended up bending a pin on that chip. I then tried to pull it back out and the pin snapped off and was stuck in the hole. So I soldered it in place, put the chip back in, then soldered the broken pin to where it snapped off of the chip. It works, but I guess time will be the test.
Then it came time to figure out how to mount the mini GPS transmitter. I have the 4" 54mm nosecone bay by MAC Performance, so it obviously needs to go in there, but there weren't a whole lot of options I liked. So TinkerCAD to the rescue, and I made my own. It has a flange that sits against the flange of the nosecone bay, and then the lid for the bay screws down onto it to seal it all up quite nice!

Thanks for the pictures.
