Introduction, notes on header height Before we get on to the build, proper, a bit on the pin headers. UPDATE 2026, June 6. In recent builds, I’ve moved to elevating" the pin headers by extending" them. This makes placing pins easier. If you have a kit, it will either contain the extended headers as depicted and/or headers with long legs.I prefer the latter. the solution I discovered a simple fix, which is to add lower round headers as an extension.
