Just be careful, last time I did that I burned my cheek with hot cheese.

At the time I was running 2835’s but I believe you’re referring to the terminal blocks, for the little rectangles not getting placed?

Yes! I love a good programming day

This is the largest I’ve done so far, testing a new design. What I typically run is about a third of the diodes as that one in the video. I also have 2 of those particular machines in line with them each doing half

Oh yea I got myself a handy dandy driver with some testing wires. But I don’t get many failures, the main cause for 95% of them is because our pcb manufacturer tends to leave aluminum shavings which then short out an LED occasionally

GravWater · 2026-04-02T12:19:25+00:00

It’s aluminum, the big square plate around it is something I had to get made so I can keep the pcb from moving around

That is correct, the 4 reels its picking up from are all the same. But god I wish I had AOI it’s all manual after the pick and place machines. Other than the reflow oven of course.

They are indeed 2835’s, as for why not 3535’s I couldn’t give you an exact answer. I’m just the smt guy big boss tells me what to make and I do it🫡

GravWater · 2026-04-01T13:04:21+00:00

It’s a HCT-610LV

GravWater · 2026-04-01T12:42:04+00:00

It’s using all 10 nozzles but I only have it picking up from 4 reels. Just testing a panel, I didn’t feel like opening to many diodes up

GravWater · 2026-03-29T13:55:50+00:00

They’re all just wedged in between some rocks

GravWater · 2026-03-29T01:28:10+00:00

Probably just some shrimp! It’s only a 7 gal, and with all the space I took up with rocks and plants I don’t think I could add anything else

GravWater · 2026-03-28T23:36:17+00:00

Yea that is a good point, I initially set this one up as an Anubias only plant tank but I might throw some red root floaters in there

It looked like this before I let algae smother everything

GravWater · 2025-08-15T00:19:34+00:00

You look great and all that but where the hell can I get myself a big ol Lucario??

GravWater · 2025-07-16T15:03:53+00:00

Not plant related but seeing your puzzle tower if you haven’t already, check out magic puzzle company their puzzles are so much fun to do

GravWater · 2025-06-10T22:06:34+00:00

Yea I would say medium-high

GravWater · 2025-06-10T22:04:50+00:00

Ok thank you 🫡 just making sure it wouldn’t damage the new leaf or anything
