WOOOOO!!

T-Moulding order came in. (is it weird that i had another "this is so happening now" moment when i opened this box?)

Thats it for now.

Be careful with that slot cutter. I have the same one - that thing is wicked. Finger eater!

And it makes awesome fireworks when you hit a screw you forgot was there. lol

Thanks. If I lose any then I'll lose the ability to count to ten without taking off my socks.

I've also heard/seen people put the bit on backwards. I'll keep an eye out for that.

If you get a shitload of smoke when cutting, it's on backwards.

Backwards slot cutter seems to be pretty common. When I first joined there was a slew of threads about it, it seems that the word has gotten out though and it's doesn't seem quite so common anymore. First time I used one I was super careful about the backwards thing because I'd read so much about it on here.

mcseforsale · « **Reply #251 on:** January 06, 2014, 08:33:13 pm »

Yeah, the slot cutter is a vicious thing. Makes you want to wear a welders apron when using it.

Maybe its just me, but couldn't you have just used one of these to cut your prototype holes.

Or did you just do it that way cause you mentioned boredom.

Very nice work though anyway man, very nice.

I've noticed that the crimp section of these QD's is HUGE. must be meant for a larger gauge wire. I still need to find a proper crimper for these. I can't seem to get my hands on one at my local shops. Any ideas?

This is probably blasphemy here, but I use my wire cutter to crimp that kind of QD, it's much easier to work with IMHO than my heavy duty crimping tool.

That looks fantastic! Nice work.

Small update:

~~I've been busy and sitting on my @$$ with this.~~

I figure now i'm going to miss my mid-Feb Deadline. Oh well. We'll get there folks...

Finished the vector art for the I/O panels.

Uh yeah, Solder.......the take needle nose pliers and fold over the holders, if your good at it you can round off the crimp, its not pretty but it holds good, the plastic will cover up the mess anyhow. Bottom line is you will have a good connection.

Theres a youtube video of a guy using needle nose for these crimps looks pretty darn good....

Get a rachet crimper. So nice to use when you are crimping like 100 connectors at a sitting...

SNAP! Poke at coreybee for the avery labels on pop cans. *BUT* I can speak for the quality of Cory's pop-can labels. They're actually pretty cool!

Not bad for $28!

For about that, you could have got yourself a pair of ratcheting crimpers.

yotsuya · « **Reply #270 on:** January 29, 2014, 09:27:58 am »

Brother Neph speaks the truth. I bought those on his recommendation and haven't looked back.

Chance - Where did you pick up your 4 pin molex connector that is on the top left of this picture? Hoping to get one in a kit so I can put it together instead of hacking a pre made one. Been looking for one for my coin door. Thanks in advance.
