Your design calls for a 3K6 and the 1/4W you've been using is running warm at the joint. These Jaycar metal film resistors give you the exact value in the same footprint, with double the wattage to keep that node cool under sustained load. Eight per pack so your bench stock lasts through a full prototype run. Pop them in, verify with the multimeter, and get back to building
