Did you have to screw anything into the little holes by the 0 and 2 on the Owlabs Spring? I noticed those little holes.

[@MitchyMitchhhhh]

Are there any risks involved with not using the PE foam. I've heard without it the switches might fall out of the socket. Has this happened to you?

[@keyeds]
