We have 2 good news.
- We have started building the 3D printer. Not finished yet, but close.
- And We have received the prototype boards!!!
It is funny how beautiful this looks to me J
It is just a small piece of plastic and metal, but how much effort has been directed towards its creation!
There is a problem though we have discovered right away. The barrel jack connectors do not fit the one we need to use. It seems there are 2 kinds of very similar connectors:
5 / 2.5
5 / 2.1
We need the latter one and the board has the first one. The difference is in the thickness of the pin inside the connector. We need a connector with the thickness of the 2.1mm and the delivered board has the connector with pin 2.5mm thick. We plan on exchanging the connectors manually for this pre-production batch of boards. Luckily, we have only ordered 10 pieces.
