I can’t remember when was the last time I’ve made a real custom PCB to actually fit the internal shape of a model. If memory serves me right, it could be the Warhammer Stormfang and that would be around 10 years ago. But that was just a plain simple rectangle. This time, the challenge is […]

20250903 HLJ Announcement
Starting in October 2025, there are some changes from HLJ. One of the announcement is longer storage period (6 months) for the Private Warehouse and if you need to store them indefinitely, there would be some small monthly stipend. Plus, HLJ also has made some changes to their cancellation policy too.
20250902 Spinner: Testing the Mandible PCB
The 1206 SMD resistors arrived today. Unlike the bigger though-hole 1/8W (0.125W) resistor, the 1206 SMD is also rated the same. I am not too particular on this until I started to test the PCB. After a few minutes, it felt… warm. This is really strange since the 1206 SMD Resistor has a power rating […]
20250831 Spinner: Custom PCB Shapes
In the beginning There are some developments in this Hobby which sometimes pushes me beyond the edge and I am not talking about comfort zone. For over more than a decade, I have witness my own development in terms of PCB design and the final products. From basic marker etching to using photolithograhy using software, […]
20250828 Spinner: The Front Mandible PCB
The PCBs from JLCPCB has arrived. JLCPCB are my goto PCB manufacturers. Over the years, I have seen them grow from a normal PCB manufacturer to assembler, 3D printing and even CnC machining. Apart from offering PCBs made in different colours and thickness, they even have flexible PCB and Aluminum and more. I love to […]
