Weโve tried to make a solid platform with LEDs but unfortunately soldering didnโt go well.
To fix that we need to use Flux. Itโs great that we found one which doesnโt require cleaning after. But itโs a bit expensive for that thing because of delivery.

When our lovely neighbor found out we were building a traffic light, and since sheโs a crafty person who makes lots of cool things by hand, she offered to help. I mentioned that it was hard to find ready-made plastic parts. She suggested a bunch of options, from simple (ready to assemble) to complex (do everything yourself).
She even made a model like this!๐
