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 […]

Now, I know how to display the resin interior kit from Alex Jackson’s Century Castings. Previously, I bought it because I was […]
