#PCB3 - Christmas Tree PCB - by @Brian Lough 

It has been a while that I made an entry here :) I was soldering the kit by Brian last weekend as a present for my Grandparents! Worked quite well, as it uses the same technique as my #PCB word clock - soldering LEDs upside down and shining through the PCB. There are a lot of PCB art trees out there, but this is one of my favorites. Probably because the code was inspired by my #sloth badge and Brian was cool about it and gave a lot of credits on his tindie page ;) 

Of course I had to run into troubles while soldering it, a USB breakout board had all the pins connected, so I had to reprint and resolder the base. 

You can download the base designed by @Tobias over here https://twitter.com/Tobi4sDE/status/1073852240287465472?s=19 but be warned, I had to scale it up to 108% on my zortrax 3d printer to make it fit.
