JLCPCB ordering tip

[Demon]

Tip: When you think you're doing something wrong and spend countless hours trying to generate a 3D model on JLCPCB:




Stop tearing out your hair, browse the part and check the 3D model in inventory:




And if this is empty, you're done nothing wrong.




Complete brain fart on my part. I had created a new symbol in Kicad and copied over an SOIC-20 footprint. I was certain I had messed something up in the process.

I gave up, went to bed, and it dawned on me before I fell asleep.
....argh.....

Got a lots of tracks? Consider the over/under ™ technique:

Thanks, but don't fool yourself.

I post this for me when I forget in 2 days and come back here and Search.

Save on setup fees. Select Basic Parts whenever possible. It's cheaper than using Extended Parts.

I had copied over a TO-263 footprint from the public library in Kicad, then checked up in the datasheet from JLCPCB cause I thought the IC was unusually large.

It turns out the size of the TQFP-64 threw off my perspective, and the IRFZ44N really was 15mm tall (datasheet still is backwards though)

[Ioannis]

Well, you got a giant TO-263 at 15 inches!
