Well, for versions of "silk screened" which include using labels on an inkjet...
Since it was a build for someone else, i wanted it to look a bit professional. I really enjoyed playing with it, but it's on its way now. I will probably build the SL+ from the stripboard version I've seen around here, at some point. |

Gonna try to build a SLMS+ in a cigar box. I think the big challenge will be that the particular box that has enough panel space is also short, so vertical space is going to be a challenge. I am going to have to take a different approach than usual to my wiring, I think.... |

Make sure you use finer wire.
I know this sounds obvious, but can be overlooked when space is at a premium.
I've found that some old printer cables (D25->Centronix (op-shop)) have nice fine easily soldered wires, which still have 7 or so strands each. A small bit of heatshrink where they meet the board/component will insure against problems later, looks good, and doesn't really take much more time. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

Would you say that was finer than 24 AWG? I don't have any strippers that go finer than that. I could definitely see my usual 22 AWG being a problem though, so good point, and one I hadn't really thought about. I *had* been thinking about ribbon cable though.... |

Yeah, ribbon cable would be my next choice.
Get the rainbow coloured one to help trace things out though.
A mass of grey wire can be hell to troubleshoot. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

Yep, definitely rainbow ribbon cable. I just need to make a count of the number of necessary connections, and my small ribbon cable experience so far shows that I have some difficulty with initial cuts without damaging wires.... |
