I need a jig to hold these pogo-pins in place while soldering them to a circuit board, which I sadly don't have yet. The slots are too wide (wrong milling tool) and the material is not quite suitable as well. I think I will get better results with a piece of hard wood or aluminium and just drilling 6 holes in a 3x2 pattern (1.27mm raster). If the fit of the holes is good enough (0.75mm hole vs. 0.68mm pogo-pin diameter), the alignment of the pins should be good as well. My "friends" at customs are torturing me again. I've been waiting for almost 3 weeks again. Why do I even use air-mail... Sending the letter as a "message in a bottle" might be quicker.

I would've needed a 0.75mm end-mill. Didn't have that, so I used a spear-drill. Worked "so-so". The acrylic tends to melt quite easily.

It's a box btw.

These I have thrown away, but I kept some of the hexagonal ones for now. They look nice. I also kept some of the larger cut-out parts, just in case I should need some plastic parts later.

Ponoko really is quick! To be more precise: the German branch called Formulor. It just took 3 days from order till delivery. Nice!
