good to see labels on the kits i bought pointing to forum. As noob i missed them on first order.
any reason why the red led in kits have quite a high failiure rate? i get about 6 dead in each of the two 4x4x4 led kits. blue green none dead and in the new 8x8x8 kit with over 500 led blue not one failiure. i tested them all at some time i must say.
the green led are very bright.
i will post on forum about the new 8x8x8 through hole led kit once i get going on it.
a tip for the solder people esp if using leaded solder. you can buy a wall mountable extractor fan the bigger ones that dont fit flush to the wall. Wire it up to a plug and you hot glue to seal screw holes and have it sitting on your desk with a 2 meter strong dust extractor pipe hanging out window. I built mine with parts from amazon £46 and a few meters of cable with a plug. Its so much better than using a small fan with a carbon filter. All the junk goes out the window. Make sure you get a fan with backdraft protection.
