I think the new battery charger design is done. All the DRC rules check out. Now for the polish >_>

Charging ICs are so specific with trace length and such

initial layout is on the right — wanted to give things to breathe, so to speak

Nope, too long. Rearranged things like the left and went a size smaller on the passives.

Ugh... it took me all day, but it passes DRC
Beh.... the PCB production place I use doesn't support blind vias; Now I get to reroute all this to pass DRC checks >_>

Did my first proper engraving. Used a photo I took back in 2009 from Bodie State Park in Bridgeport, Ca

It came out way better than I hoped with actual texture

Someone sent in a sticker with their units for repair. I think I'll keep it.
It was haircut time again

Installed a dedicated outlet box and routed an illuminated switch up to the panel for the exhaust fan system.

I only blew one fuse wiring the backwards chinese switch xD

So... no burning at 3,000 mm/m at any percentage xD

Also, obligatory character testing :3

Burning a calibration plank now :D
