Smart NeoPixel v2 - Sheet ( * Missing Snap-off Points? )

Post by SeanRiney »

Hi there! I just received an order which included the Flora RGB Smart NeoPixel version 2 - Sheet of 20, however I'm noticing that on close inspection that the little cuts that should be at the edge of each NeoPixel have not been printed, here's a few close ups to show what I mean.

Compare this to what you have on the product page:

Is this a mistake or are all of them printed this way? I don't want to try snapping these apart and destroy them.

Thanks!

We had those perforations in early production runs, but found that the rough edges tended to snag on fabrics. We found that we get much cleaner edges clipping them out with diagonal cutters:
