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 […]

20240511 1/6th Proton Pack: The Prints are in!
Yesterday, I got the opportunity to collect the long-awaited 3D prints. And I am quite impressed with the result. We did discuss more on going further on this Project but as it started to rain and my Wife wants me back asap, we have to cut everything short. In hindsight, this would be much faster […]
20240506 The Solder Paste Extruder

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 […]
