Jake's Macropad
My personal macro-pad will primarily be used for my PC. The main purpose of this project is to learn how to create PCB's and 3D modelling software like Fusion for projects like this.

Soldered the project
After receiving all the parts and having some spare time while my other project is being reviewed, I finally got around to soldering the board. It has been 5 years since I last soldered, so I spent about an hour doing practice, which I found very helpful.
I then proceeded to solder each component to the board. I managed to do everything relatively easily other than the LED's, it's probably something I did wrong but I couldn't for the life of me get it done.
I also mis-interpreted the rotary encoders size so top housing doesn't quite fit, but I hope that I can get it re-printed somehow.
