Remember the previous post I did about guesswork by placing the PCB on top of an image of the shape? Well, this time, it did not work if what I discover is true. This is because after I had located the stl extension for the obsolete Sketchup Make 2017, I was able to import 3d […]

20240505 Lighting for the AndersFP Blaster pt.01
Just yesterday, I saw a friend of mine, Dean Eyre on Facebook asking for some assistance to light up one of his models. It was a very simple request where 5 red LEDs needs to “glow up” once power is applied to it. At that time, the only clue was his posted image below: ORIGIN […]
Multicolour Silkscreen PCB from JLCPCB
While trawling through my JLCPCB account, I came across this notification dated April 1st. They are now able to to multilayer silkscreen which in other words, you can now put images on your PCB. I have seen some earlier designs from microcontrollers (Arduino?) but they used them sparingly to only mark the I/O pins. Designing […]
202040408 1/6th Proton Pack: The Guesstimation Process
Fitting a circuit board into a scale model is quite challenging and it usually ends up being a bespoke design. The challenge is to maximise the space within and making sure all the components fit in there. So far, in most scale models, I can skip this process because the available space was more than […]
20240217 Razor Crest Main Board Rev.05
After more than about 10 days, the newly re-deisigned (and I hope, the final version) of the Razor Crest’s main board has arrived. The circuit is the same except that it has been re-wired slightly to fit into the new screw terminals. To make or rather, allow for last-minute re-soldering, I have moved the components. […]
