Here’s the Fixed solder splash! I love Flux!!!

[ProfessorZ]

I think I have a problem.....

It certainly looks that way. But as wermy said on discord, just attach a wire to the 3rd pin and to the CS pad. the track between the two has lifted and is gone. but a wire will fix it right up. next time, be careful with your solder sucker. As i said on discord, they can be rather violent and kickback/jump and knock things out of whack. this may be a result of your iron not having enough heat capacity to actually do anything more complex than simple through hole connections. desoldering usually takes a lot more heat, especially if you use desoldering braid/wick

I had damaged the ribbon connections when clearing the solder splash. After removing the ribbon connector I found that one of the pads underneath had been damaged. I’ve now wired the test pads and am going to wire them to the test pads on the screen PCB. I have removed the ribbon connector on the screen PCB to make it easier to solder the wires as the test pads on the screen PCB are smaller than the ones on the Controller PCB.

Good Luck!

After getting the appropriate equipment for the surgery, the doctor proceeded, the button PCB had been done first. The last part of the surgery was difficult however the result was

Here are some photos of the patient, all of the connections were tested and came up

Here’s the 3D printed faceplate. Looks ok but I hope to be able to get a printer for Christmas and get a better version!

Looks fine. Did you use wermy's suggested settings for the first 2 layers? (they need to be particularly thin so you get the bottom bit in 2 layers instead of one)

[ProfessorZ]

No, I didn’t know that there was any settings. I just dropped the files off with the school and went to collect them when they were done.

Because reading is hard.
