Would anyone be interested in buying a fixture for soldering WSxxxx LEDs together? I made one at work and it’s really handy, thought maybe someone else could benefit too. They’d come with a full set of magnets.

Can you make one for the SK6812MINI ? (the 3535 version)

@Matt_Edwards I’m not sure what those are, I’ll have to look into it.

You awesome effort looks CNCd but i would possibly consider 3d printing, just not sure how hot the magnets would get and or if ABS would hold up.
But TBH i was just being facetious.

@Matt_Edwards yes it’s CNC machined out of 4150 and the tolerances are way too tight for 3D printing. the bosses for the LEDs and holes for the magnets are machined to .005" over the size of the LEDs and magnets. Just enough for them to sit tight.
