   So I wanted an sft40 3000k. I figured I should put it in a ts11 since it’s a great thrower. Unfortunately I like the stock 6500k, so I figured why not 2! So now I have 2

   Unfortunately, since my iron is bad (I have a new one on the way), this was a bitch to do. Everything until resoldering the mcpcb back on was pretty smooth. But when resoldering came, oh my god

   I barely got the main led leads back on and had to use solder paste because my iron didn’t melt the solder well. Then the green aux channel didn’t come on. I knew I had some extra shit joints, so I tried fixing those. Unfortunately I tried fixing the wrong one, so I had to find out which to fix

   Luckily, found out which was bad! Unfortunately I found out because I accidentally shorted something out with my tweezers and that led to a small explosion, magic smoke, an in half pcb trace, and 2 dead aux diodes. I then proceeded to accidentally almost fully rip out the trace with my tweezers because I thought it was in the other way.

   Some solder paste and an in half dupont lead (had to use it for a thin copper wire) later, I had 2 of 3 diodes working fine, and one still stuck without a green channel. This sucks because I wanted it to have yellow aux, but whatever, at least purple matches with the original. Also sorry for no images of the fucked up mcpcb, I quickly closed it when it started to work, and that bitch is never being opened. Only if I manage to source a new mcpcb

   Oh and one last thing. You may be asking yourself “why is this new mod day and not new emitter day”. That’s because I modified the aux and mcpcb to be fucked up…
