Happy #WorkbenchWednesday to all those who celebrate. This week, I learned how to resize traces in EasyEDA and did a test run at 0.7 mm. Haven’t done continuity tests on every trace, but I’m guessing that this is going to be a smidge too narrow. Still, good progress.

Q: Why are you spending so much time on milling when you can get five perfect boards from JLCPCB in a week?” A: I want to get the hang of milling a known-good layout before I attempt something of my own design. #synthDIY

It’s #WorkbenchWednesday! What’s on your #synthDIY bench today?

I put together a new, smaller Gerber for testing circuit board milling params on my 3020-PRO Max. I think I can comfortably mill traces down to 0.7 mm wide with a 0.1 mm, 15 degree V bit at 0.07 mm depth. Now I need to go back to the LFO Gerber and see if I can widen the traces.

First attempt at milling a circuit board. I’m building musicdevghost’s Cha Cha VCLFO module https://github.com/musicdevghost/eurorack/tree/main/Cha%20Cha%20-%20VCLFO.

Alignment pin holes: ✅
Surface height mapping: ✅
Top-side traces: ❎

I need to create a test board with different trace and pad widths and test some depths/speeds to figure out if this board is even possible…

Hey, it’s #WorkbenchWednesday! I assembled and tested my buffered mixer today. The output level seems low, so I may mess with the resistor values to change the opamp gain. Probably should measure the peak output before I plug it into the mixer, too. #synthdiy

@paul @SynthDIY I haven’t quite got the hang of kbin/Lemmy yet, though I did subscribe to the synthDIY group you linked to just now.

For mastodon/microblog fedi, how about a hashtag though? #WorkbenchWednesday?

Well I missed #WorkbenchWednesday but I've got a new #Project #OnTheBench: I've started work on a Star Trek Voyage/DS9 type 2 phaser.

So far I've printed all the parts (bar the last button which is in the wash and cure station at the moment). Next step will be sand off and then putty all the support markings.

Not my typical workbench but it’s what I’ve been wrenching on in preparation for the new camera…

I have a new space at work, so I decided I am going to decorate it with things, specially a thermal detenator to start with.
Printing went well but I'm not 100% certain that I'm fully curing it (tacky spot after 15min washing and curing).
I also think I might have damaged it taking off the supports...

I think I'll reprint in one of the grey ABS like resins (since they finally arrived) and go from there.
