OK, I am so excited today, wishing the Day’s Work would end immediately. The 3D printed switch cover has arrived. This was one of the main delays which literally stalled the Project. Without it, I could not finalise the assembly manual. The problem started when I exported the SketchUp file into .stl format which had […]
20241208 Lighting for the AndersFP Blaster Pt.25 – Starting Production Pt. 04: Of Thermal Printers & Impulse Sealers
I can see myself getting closer to the finishing line and I’m pushing for release by January 2025.

Financially, it is quite significant since I am still depending […]

This weird component comes in both through-hole and SMD packages too. But for this post, I am concentrating on the surface mount […]
