This was the first time I’ve used a stencil and solder paste to build up a pcb. It was so much easier to get all the components aligned and soldered on the board (on the back, there are 38 0603 capacitors which are always time consuming to hand solder). After just had to clear a few bridges and added a little extra solder to U1.

    I’ll have to keep this in mind if I ever go down the home PCB fabrication root.
