Two Aleph Null builds

[almondcity]

Moka Pot and Clever Hans.

Haven't played enough with the Moka but I can already tell the Clever Hans is gonna be a new favorite for me. Build one!

Thanks @Aleph Null !

Oh one thing, I couldn't fit the 1N5817 I had in the holes very easily so I just omitted them

I really love the Clever Hans circuit. It's a blast to play.

Looking good! Did you use stamps for the lettering?

I've seem some thick leads on 1N5817s but I haven't encountered any that wouldn't fit. Do you remember where you got yours from?

Yeah just letter stamps and ink

Got these 5817 from mouser

I had the same issue with Moka Pot. The one's have that didn't fit are STMicro 1N5817. The spec sheet says the leads should be 0.28" but both the 1N5817 and 1N5819 I have measure 0.055". I am guessing the PCB was drilled at 0.05"

The hole in the PCB should be 0.030”, plus or minus for the finish. I suppose if you got a diode with thick leads and a hole on the small side of the tolerances, it might not go. I've had some that were tight, but they all fit with a little persuasion. Maybe I'll up the diameter to 0.035”.
