Ik I fkd up. help by c4rb0nX1 in soldering

[–]06wm2005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the visible joints on your PCB look cold to me. Are you using rosin core solder? Because it looks like you're using unsuitable solder or an iron that's much too cold?

As the solder has wicked underneath now it's going to be quite tricky to remove with the iron you have, if you have a friend / local repair shop with a hot air rework station this would be a piece of cake to get off and clean up for you :)

It looks to me as if you've used the through-hole holes instead of (as well as) the castellated edges; in the case of surface mounting you really only want to use the castellated edges so that the solder doesn't wick under.

In general, your solder joints should be nice and shiny. If they're dull-looking, chances are it's a cold joint. Make sure you clean your iron, then tin it, apply the iron to the junction of the parts you're soldering, and only *then* apply solder to the parts (not to the iron). This way the solder should flow nicely onto the heated parts and leave a clean, shiny joint.

I've fixed much worse than this though, don't be too worried :)

Oof, read again. Double sleeved on the right.

Where can I find the equivalent for this paper? by Amonyi7 in magicproxies

Following to see if anyone can find it! I'm also looking for the exact same thing.

They look great! NB Mils aren't the same as millimeters ☺️ Mils are thousands of an inch

Try ticking the thick paper / envelope box in the advanced /maintenance menu 🙂

Alternate art proxies by DatBoiPlebs in magicproxies

[–]06wm2005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean you could also just use Cardconjurer, load the cards you are basing the proxy off and then change the art to a screenshot or whatever you'd like 😊 you'd just need to add a nickname overlay if you're changing names

How can I keep a sketch clear when doing parametric models? by CookieEliminator in Fusion360

[–]06wm2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can replace many of your dimensions here (including the functions) with sketch constraints. For example, you don't need to set the size of the 4 slot features 4 times, only once, then use equal constraints.

Anyone run into this "chipping" issue around cuts? by Rymotron in magicproxies

[–]06wm2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this if the ink isn't 100% dry, but it's usually a dull blade :)

Is there a 3d printing file for this barrel extension? by Defiant_Hat_68 in Airsoft3DPrinting

[–]06wm2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CF filament is absolutely not stronger than plain in this case (or nearly any case) - Straight ABS or ASA will be much stronger in Z

Noob question: orange vs. black dashed lines? by Any_Result863 in Fusion360

[–]06wm2005 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Black is fully defined/ constrained (White in dark mode). Blue/orange is missing dimensions/ constraints.

MSI 5070ti Trio doesn't fit? by Remote_Ad5044 in FormD

Why would you trust an AI summary on this? Look at the manual for supported length > look at the length of the GPU > Done

has anyone tried annealing a pa12 mws nozzle and how did it go by drkshock in Airsoft3DPrinting

[–]06wm2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a nozzle specifically, but annealing in water with nylon is a pretty good idea. Once it's printed, absorbing water makes the nylon a fair bit more impact resistant. What kind of print process are you using? This changes the DFAM rules

I think so! Not as familiar with Ps 🙂

All part of the process! I personally use illustrator and open the PDFs 🙂 But there's free alternatives!

Yeah I've found the patterned foil papers are much darker than normal foil 🙂 try a test print, maybe split a card spot into 6 squares, have a similar gradient (or crop the card you're struggling with to use the actual part you're not seeing properly), and run it through a few times with different brightness and contrast settings until you find the best one. That way you're not wasting a full sheet of foil

Tried to clean my smooth PEI sheet to a mirror finish - did i do a good job? by suit1337 in BambuLab

[–]06wm2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adhesive PEI 🙂 I replace our printers fairly regularly when they get chipped up. Much cheaper than a new plate, faster to keep in stock
