This layout streamlines the assembly of high-density circuits that would otherwise be challenging to hand-solder, and it enables researchers to integrate any salvaged SMD component extracted from electronic waste. + ### Funding This project received funding through [Constant](https://constantvzw.org/site/) as part of their [Technodisobedience](https://www.constantvzw.org/site/-Techno-desobedience-.html) project and [NGI0 Entrust](https://nlnet.nl/entrust), a fund established by [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl) with financial support from the European Commission's [Next Generation Internet](https://ngi.eu) program.
