if your iron is as fat as mine, you'll know that it is pretty Dang impossible to solder with, even on a n64 cart slot.
I would make the top smaller but don't know how :gonk:
 
Buy a new tip/iron? You may experiment with one of those Radioshack 10$ ones - I've only used that and it's not failed me one time. Fine tips, as well :)
 
My workshop is going through some major renovations, so the project is on hold until monday, Sorry if thats a problem at all.
 
No Michael, sorry doesn't cut it. It is a major problem for me, and I find this unacceptable.

What is it, mostly cleaning up?

No, its mostly my jackass friend knocked out and entire wall, and now I have to replace it.

But I decided to also expand it while I was at it, because I was running out of room anyways.
 
My workshop is completely repaired and ready for new work tomorrow! :awesome:

I am excited, stay tuned! :D
 
Today(with limited time) I made sure the DD relocation was rock Solid, Picked out a flat Heatsink, and Worked on the Case some more. Pics tomorrow as I have a history project due that will drown me if I do not finish it! :dah:
 
Today is one of my off days, but I managed to scrape up a few pictures.

Casework is hard, sand it a lot and use lots of bondo to make it nice. and then spray paint it. and don't use tape in the final design.
 
Case work started today, I had a problem with the front and had to re-glue everything, but I got the back Ready, it needs to set for a while, then I can sand it down, repeat, sand, repeat, Paint, Sand, Repeat, Paint, etc, etc
