20250911 Spinner: Top Revolving Light New PCB Design

With the new dimensions for the SMD LED’s cut-out, I re-created the shape again from InkScape before importing it into EaglePCB. The only problem is that no matter what I did, there is a ‘leak’. Understandably, JLCPCB confirmed this when I uploaded the design. So, most of the day was spent on trying to figure out the cause. Eventually, it was not the outline of the PCB but rather, the activity surrounding that 1.3mm donut hole. It was not the position of the SMD solder pads but rather, the traces or copper tracks. Despite the various trials and combination of the tracks, eventually I gave up, sealed the donut and placed a single solder point there…

And that, was my disappointment when I uploaded to JLCPCB. Because this is the responding image; a square.

But there is a surprise when I switched to the GERBER viewer because the 3D rendering of the design is correct! I have also decided to use 1/2mm as the thickness of the PCB instead of 1.0mm
I confirmed and uploaded my design before 0900 in the morning. And in 15 minutes, it is in production! With no emails coming to me, this means the design passed. And I’ll know more of less what is going to happen in 8 to 11 days…
