Assembled by JLCPCB, only the connectors by hand. Total came in under budget.
- swapped LDO for AP2112K
- 3D-printed lid in PETG
- luciav2.1.01 months ago34.453h 1m
One cold joint on the ground pad — needed flux and a bigger tip.
- sam-kv2.0.01 months ago47.452h 13m
Printed the enclosure in PETG at 0.2mm, fits with no sanding.
