Fun with Transistors
Transistors are the backbone of modern electronics. In a circuit, they function as either amplifiers or switches. It’s hard to imagine that simple knowledge could help you build a functional gadget, but today the HackMakeMod team is helping you start down…

For ironing I use this device, it’s just a normal 🚬 with a flat soldering iron tip. I found 250C a good temperature for melting. Normally ~200C is the working temperature for PLA plastic.

We’ve tried to make a solid platform with LEDs but unfortunately soldering didn’t go well.
To fix that we need to use Flux. It’s great that we found one which doesn’t require cleaning after. But it’s a bit expensive for that thing because of delivery.
Actually I find this to be a big problem these days. You can order almost everything, but it’s much more expensive compared to the stores. You cannot just order 1 piece for a normal prise — either expensive or a lot of items.
Besides that, the worse — there are almost no stores left 😢

When our lovely neighbor found out we were building a traffic light, and since she’s 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!😍

Moving forward, I've bought some more tools 🛠️ . This material is quite soft and cuts easily. The next step is soldering - proper soldering with the right materials 👍
