Hi Flatmann! I'll add some labels to the next version of the help file, so people actually know which wires are which. Sorry about that!

Hey, I priced type 3 anodizing for the 1"x2"x10" aluminum block that I bought today. It costs $3 to anodize! hahaha. Isnt' that funny? I thought it would be more like $50 or something. Of course, the bad news is there is a $150 minimum.. hehe. So, that means I should do 50 heat spreaders! That's a lot...

I milled one of the faces of it so it's almost mirror smooth. I'll do the other faces tomorrow (just 2 more that matter). I think this is going to work really really well for taking the heat away from the mosfets. They can dissipate 1600 watts each for crying out loud! Isn't that ridiculous? The legs are good to 160amp.
