Its been more than 6 months since I last touched this Project. For those who are not familiar, this is the lighting system designed to fit into either the AMT or Revell’s Razor Crest, the Mandalorian’s Spaceship in 1/48th scale. So near, yet so far I plan to have it released by April this year […]

20260122 Lighting for the AndersFP Blaster Pt.30 – Will it fit the Styer receiver?
So my Programmer resurrected itself and I’m a happy camper. It is a matured product around the early 2000’s and I am still using it. One of the main reason is because I am so used to its ZIF (Zero Insertion Socket) as compared to its more updated and efficient brethren which uses ICSP (In-circuit […]
20260101 Spinner: Front Mandible PCB ver 03 3mm Spacer it is!
Happy New Year! I have located the 3mm White LED and soldered onto another prototype PCB. This time, I have not modified the 3mm spacer but just used it as it is. Instead of the 10mm height I envisioned, my calipers said the height should be around the 9mm mark. This means, with the spacer, […]
20251231 Spinner: Front Mandible PCB ver 03 LED Spacer
Are you high? A typical height of a 5mm LED is 8.7mm (1mm collar and 7.7mm resin lens). Add that to the 3mm spacer, we’re looking at a 11.7mm height. But as shown above where the 0mm height LED position looked more accurate, lets have a brief calculation about the 3mm LED. Its typical height […]

JLCPCB & being (almost) Perfect I always liked to use JLCPCB which apart from their manufacturing speed, their Call Centres are very responsive when it came to troubleshooting my designs. However, I also wished that they could help modify my PCB and/ or 3D files too but sadly, that is not possible. I mean, if […]
