The boards arrived yesterday and I was quite excited. However, as I am in the midst of moving houses, I’ll need some time to search for the box which kept all the Project’s components and tools. Just for tonight, I can only do a test-fit of the PCB into the 3D printed clip. What a […]

20240506 Wrong Guesstimation
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 […]
