I stuffed in some paper to pad the bottom so the syringe doesn't rattle.

An air-tight container with some desiccant in the plug that just so happens to be longer than a certain syringe full of solder paste which needs to be put into my fridge. Hmmmm...

It wasn't cheap, but it was super easy to dispense at room temperature.

I was adding a bit too much paste, but it worked out fine.

I hope this thing is air-tight enough. Edit: I won't use this to store solder paste, I've found something better and cheaper ;-)

Pretty uneventful.

! I WANT MY PARTS !

In this case it's not detrimental.

Not a show stopper.

Seems they found a problem and fixed it right away.

If this track had to carry a lot of current I would have to worry about it, but only 100mA will pass through it.

Quite nice, but not much of the printed stuff survived. The whole box was wrapped in sticky tape.

That was quick, very commendable indeed. But what about the status? Delivered and signed by ME?? I was at home and I can't remember having heard the doorbell at the time stated in the tracking report. Very odd. Later: the express envelope was small enough to fit into my mailbox and it was 'dumped' there. I don't know if that is 100% according to the rules, but I can live with it. Better than having to make them attempt a 2nd delivery or me driving to some remote pickup location.

This may be my first board that requires hot-air soldering or baking in a skillet and solder paste. I've extended the LED footprints to allow going in with a soldering iron, but I don't know how that will work out. The pads on the LED don't really extend to its edges, so conventional soldering may not work. It's really sad that KiCad, as of now, doesn't allow for on-the-fly resizing of silkscreen artwork. You always have to go through the module editor, which requires resizing of the vector data using a custom external perl-script.

and some snow as well. I'm looking forward to having to scrape the ice of windshields and the likes. I could do that all day with a big smile on my face... NOT.
