Sprout in a 1590a

[chromesphere]

My first 1590a. I dont think I really appreciated how small these things are until i built this.  Incredible small.

Came together pretty well though i thought.  The graphics are of the piranhna plant from Super Mario.  I was going to do the 1up mushroom but remembered, somebody else actually has already done that!

The space between the in / out jacks was a bit close, but not too clse thankfully. The powder coating gods also crapped on my finishing efforts once again, and the clear coat orange peeled like i've never seen orange peel before.  I probably had it on too thick, i dont know...

Anyway, aside from that, very happy with this one, in finishing, build quality, and effect.

Thanks for looking,
Paul

Thanks guys!

Had a chance to play it on the weekend for a little bit.  I'm not a big fuzz fan but i like this one. Dirty, thick, a bit glitchy, and it has the most horrendous decay! (in a good way).  Yeah, good sound for such a small circuit.

I love the artwork, the plant going to munch the LED. Sorry to hear the PC God's crapped on you. It looks good from the pictures. I don't have the stones or desire to do a 1590A, I'm not at that level of tidiness.

[chromesphere]

Thanks Keys.  I dont mean to sound like a smarty pants, but even though it was tight, dont get me wrong, it wasnt....impossibly tight.  If you use a 9mm pot it would be even easier.  Its fiddly, you know.

Oh, i think i may have worked out why my clear powder coat looks like crap.  I was reading this dudes report on a powder coating gun, and he showed  photos of the powder flowing when it was in the oven.  My clear looks like it hasnt fully flowed yet!   Does anyone know if you can just reheat this stuff to finish it flowing? I'd have to pull it apart, but i'd like to get it right.

Your oven should be set to 175-195° C. Watch the enclosure, once the powder starts to flow, or turn to liquid, start the timer for 15-20 minutes. That's what I've been doing with the powder I buy from Columbia. I'd imagine it's be close to the same for you.

[chromesphere]

Yeah theres no way i leave mine in for that long...10 mins tops (total).

So do you know if you can reflow it was its colded? (without stuffing something up)
