Description
This is a one-time small production run of the Sunsetter made of FR4. We had done a test with FR4 and received an overwhelming response so we've decided to do a quick production of the FR4 that will capitalize off of the extras ordered for Sunsetter R2.
Previously, I had ordered a large amount of extra PCBs and other parts for the Sunsetter R2 GB with the intention of doing special/unique productions of the Sunsetter. This will be the first and only time we'll run FR4 Sunsetters for varying reasons.
One important thing to note is that making a board with FR4 has some unique properties. The screw threading on the FR4 will be helicoil thread inserts so there's much less issues with breaking threads. The exterior finishing of the board will be as-machined since there aren't options for finishing. The final result is a smooth marble-like texture that may have slight color variations and machining marks. Refer to the pictures to see best what I mean!
If you're looking to try a novel material, this is for you!
