FDL-3 custom PCBs

Champsquire@discuss.online to Nerf@discuss.onlineEnglish · 1 year ago

Heya! I was looking into getting PCB’s made for an FDL-3 I would like to build from scratch, as I really do not trust myself to make boards that small. I’ve looked into PCBway, and after some fiddling, generated gerber .zips from the .brd files. However, the other information for the boards like the layer count, thickness, etc. has me confused, and I was curious if anyone else has looked into making these PCBs, or just making PCB’s in general.

Welcome, Nerfers! This is a place for Nerf, Modifications, Homemades, Assassins, Office wars, Humans vs. Zombies, BoomCo, Off-brands, Water Blasters . . .

We’re intended to be like /r/nerf except not dependent on reddit.

We’re still setting things up, but we’re ready for what’s truly important: you to share builds, news, advice, and stories.

Are you new to Lemmy? Please click here to expand.

Lemmy is a lot like reddit. For most purposes you can treat it as if it is reddit.

The main difference is that when you view your front page or search for other communities, you have a choice between “subscribed” (what you’ve already joined), “local” (a small subset of communities) and “all” (every community that this server knows about).

discuss.online is one of many Lemmy servers and many of the communities that you see here originate on other servers - but this networking is handled behind the scenes. This decentralization makes Lemmy resilient but you can still use it just like reddit.

A longer explanation can be found here.

Community standards

We maintain a higher standard of civility here than an average forum. Please be nice, and be forgiving: the other guy might be literally a kid.

We have moderate post quality standards here; nerfchatter is very lax. If you’d like to ask a question, please try googling it first.

We have some idiosyncratic rules (next section) including topics that we direct elsewhere (“what we aren’t”). Please take a minute to read them before posting.

It’s “blaster/dart,” not “gun/bullet” - because the latter can lead to things that we’d rather avoid. This is a common mistake, but it is a mistake. Similarly, it’s good to be clear that realistic blasters shouldn’t be used in public spaces for the benefit of our young readers.

Community rules

Don’t spam (post excessively) or excessively self-promote. That means at most 1 post per day, and less than 1/10ths of your posts and comments each may be self-promotion.
No low effort content.
Only post thrift finds on Thursday - where “Thursday” starts at 1AM GMT-07 and runs for 24 hours. This corresponds to daylight Thursday for most of our readers.
Don’t recommend or show dangerous practices, such as these. There is to be absolutely no deliberate weaponization, even as a joke or against nonhuman targets.
Pirated/knockoff versions of hobby-made designs should not be shared; don’t give pirates free advertising.
Respect community standards (above) and stay on-topic (below).

What we aren’t

3d printing questions not specific to nerf should go on 3d printing communities.
You can buy/sell/trade/“what’s it worth?” on /r/nerfexchange (though we may make an exchange Lemmy community later).
No scripted battle footage. We have to ban this so that we don’t get flooded with it. This is very easy to find on YouTube if you for some reason want to see it.
No memes/jokes; there may be rare exceptions for discussions of ongoing events. Again, we have to ban this to not be flooded by it. Memes/jokes are very welcome at Nerfchatter.
