Worklog First Project

[KsslrJms98]

Finally got most of my equipment in, so now its time to decide on what I want to do for my first project. I currently have two 6 layer wiis, so I think I will use one to make a Wii Micro, and maybe just try to fix up the other one to resell. Dont have much space in my apartment, so my dining room is being retrofitted into a workstation for now.

It's been a while since my last post, so I thought it would be good to provide an update.
-I ordered a 3D Printer (Ender 3 Pro) to use to make the case for the Wii Miicro, and I started the trimming until the mandrel that came with the rotary tool broke (Off to Amazon to get a better one)
-I unfortunately cut too far into my first wii motherboard, so I'm certainly grateful I had a spare. On the plus side, the broken board gives me a good practice spot for soldering/tinning/etc.
-I haven't had too much luck finding some of the components from Nolds guide (tact switches, barreljack, etc), but I haven't stopped looking! Once the PSU board and new Mandrel come in, I'm kicking this thing into overdrive!
