20250904 Spinner: Front Mandible PCB ver 02
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 […]
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 […]
