Hi,
I have just found this wonderful project. I have two questions, though:
Is there a version which would replace most of the extended selection parts from JLCPCB with ones from the standard selection? I found that roughly one third of the cost when ordering with top side assembly is related to additional labor costs related to extended parts.
Do you know of anyone selling (semi)assembled kits, like in a Tindie store or something? It would be nice if there were some kits where the SMD parts would be assembled and the rest would be at least packed up in a bag along with the PCB. I understand though, if that is something that you do not want to start.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi,

I tried to use JLC standard parts where I could, so I don't think there will be a different version with (many) more basic parts. I may have missed some, though - so let me know if you find any extended parts I used that can easily be replaced with basic parts.

I'm not planning to sell kits and I'm not aware of anyone who is doing so for the general public. However, I intentionally chose relatively open licenses so anyone who wants to sell kits can do so and there may well be someone I don't know of.

Please do not expect me to support them, though.

Sorry for being so late, I haven't been following the issues here too closely.

Heiko
