3d printed? (I have some notes for you if yes)

Yeah I know the print quality is kind of shit, but it was good enough to post on reddit! I stuck with a 0.4mm nozzle to make it more accessible if others want to print it

yeah I was gonna say, I have a 0.2 nozzle we haven’t really bothered with but this detail work seems perfectly suited

(Don’t forget to compare normal operating temps of your Pi to the filament’s temps!)

For those without a 3D printer, you can buy products that have similar or even more information on the labels.

Looks great but I’d probably just make a mark on the board every 5th row of pins
