hello wigglers and diy-friends,
I am currently at the stage of purchasing PCBs + panels from popular manufacturers like befaco and NLC (ok, for befaco I mostly get at least partial kit but mostly full ones). I am okay at smd soldering, but ultimately gave up on st modular with its 0603 sized components and just bought the presoldered pcb, and am still waiting off the tinkle to build, I shy away from it due to its density, also I have delaynomore3 build, thats not working and still for troubleshooting...
Am I ready to take the plunge and get to the next difficulty level on the diy scale and build / create my own PCBs?
I thought about the rich diverse selection of kits on https://taydakits.com , https://www.taydakits.com/categories/diy-guitar-effects and thought about converting them to eurorack just for the fun,
and to learn a bit pcb design in doing so...
But maybe I want to first send some gerber files of an existing project to jlcpcb, or some other manufacturer, maybe someone in europe?
Also I know that https://oddvolt.com/collections/panel-pcb-kits has a couple of pcbs from the old dicontinued diy series from erica synths - or maybe the tinrs wobbler? But not sure if I can find the special components
needed on some of them...
What do you think?
