Hmm allright. The power saving isn’t that significant so perhaps I should find a better way for it.

If the house burns down because of that your insurer will likely be difficult about it. You should also check the policy of your insurer, perhaps the cause of the fire is irrelevant.

As for fire safety. I always put my electronics in non flammable environments and make sure that everything is fused with either a current or thermal fuse.

Anything with high current consumption goes inside a metal box so that even if it does catch fire it can’t take anything with it. 3D printed enclosures are fine if you mount those inside a metal bucket for example.

Everyone who has come in contact with that stuff will die.

Honestly. I try to use Lemmy for positive stuff as much as possible. Hobby stuff, jokes and as few political comments as possible.

I use reddit to vent frustration and bitch and moan.

Centipedes sure but we don’t get the big tropical horrors in Europe.

Thanks. Haha no I fully intend to grow vegetables. I don’t even like weed. The last time I smoked it eas 20 years ago, it gave me a panic attack and I never touched it since.

Indeed.

That is a good point. I was under the impression that solder mask is mostly for safety and convenience when soldering so it only flows where you want it to.

Creating a mask that works for solder mask as etch resist does require some tweaking with the SVG files. I’ll give it a try for a few small boards to see how well it really works.

Why is that? I understand there is a tiny layer of exposed copper on the side of the traces but copper tends to form a protective layer of oxide.

Tooting my own horn. I have something to add. With the UV “Mechanic” solder mask that gets sold on Chinese webshops pre-heating the solder mask makes a HUGE difference. Apparently it contains some volatile components that interfere with the curing process.

Heating it to about 80-ish C for a few minutes and optionally letting it cool down causes the laser to almost instantly cure the mask. Any non-exposed mask will be easily washed off with some IPA.
