SMD Stencil soldering - perspectives of a first-timer on what's easy and difficult // KiCad, PCBWay
#smd #stencil #soldering
When I had over 30 components to solder, I ordered both the PCBs and a stencil from PCBWay https://www.pcbway.com/. Since this was my first time using the stencil, I share some easy things that I could have fixed or considered before making the PCB layout. I also share what are some of the difficult parts such as the technique itself. Overall, using the stencil gave me a deeper appreciation of large volume manufacturing that I also show as a contrast.
