Product information "Rainbow Rocket - A soldering kit out of this world"
Launch your own rocket with the MINT-Labs Rocket Soldering Kit! This fun DIY project creates a colorful LED rocket light – perfect as a pin, necklace pendant, or decorative accessory. Once soldered, the rocket’s porthole and exhaust trail light up in all the colors of the rainbow.
Easy Soldering – Perfect for Beginners
This kit is ideal for beginners: You only need to solder 6 components on the back of the PCB. The included THT LEDs (Through-Hole Technology) are cleverly surface-mounted to keep the front looking neat and clean. There’s just one hole – for attaching a keychain or clipping the rocket onto a bag.
No worries if you’ve never soldered before: a detailed, well-tested instruction guide walks you through your little rocket adventure step by step!
