Heavy Tombstone - Update 4

The last two weeks have been very productive. Not only did I finish a solution to drive the LEDs, I also have completed the mainboard box for the mainboard, raspberry pi and Hotbed Mosfet. I have also been fiddling with the new thermal camera, which is proving to be a very good tool.
