In this thread we build the projects that others have shared

Just wanted to say, your write up was great. After screwing up my first attempt soldering THS7374 a year ago I finally got around to trying this again but with the solder paste method and it worked out perfectly. One question I had was on the aliexpress x2.54 crimping tool you bought will that work on the hirose pins also? I'd like to give creating the kick harness a try.

Ha! That thing - those Hirose pins are DF1B which you can read about here

Hirose do make a specific crimp tool for those pins, which costs over $US700. So I've been using Harwin Z20-320 which is designed for M20 pins (and also costs moonbeams) and does a good job

You could also check out the awesome work of @Lemony Vengeance here

They have all the tools to make astonishingly high quality gear

Built my own @Frank_fjs Arcade-Projects Jamma extension cable ... and if I have to be honest... it's really expensive to put together for what it is. You could probably rewire a cab for less than the cost of all the manufacturing, parts, and shipping costs combined.



I also hate the inverted look. I built it to possibly build off it for another project, but I really don't like it or how much I spent just to put a single unit together.

Of course! It would be a sad day indeed if I used an enjoyed someone elses hard work, had my fun with it, and didnt contribute my work back for others to use and enjoy too. The entire point of this thread is to share what we learn making these projects

I'm pretty sure this is the final final (of course I was absolutely sure that the previous 7 were also the final one...) - it's printing now - will know in 8 hours

I'll probably publish as follows to thingverse as a remix to the Pacifier case
Top Minigin Advanced 2.5 (probably 2 dozen fixes, added bottons etc)
Bottom Minigun Advanced 2.5 (audio out now fits, adjusted nut size to reduce BOM part count by 1)
Pushbuttons (new)
BOM for nuts/bolts/posts
Will post a link to the thingverse here when it's up

Would you mind sharing your nice work?
