    First couple components going on. The 0603 passives are ok, but I really bave to change the SOD-323 diodes for something else. The pads are so tiny and they really like to fall over, cert annoying to deal with

        These 1.5x1.5mm RGB LEDs are actually one of the easiest components to place and solder (once you figure out which way they should go on)

          @robin7331 the SMD mags work great for this, no jiggle etc when advancing once the cover tape is long enough to pull on. Before this I tried sticking the tape down on the table, but even then the components would jump out / flip so this is a real win :)

            oops 😬 Not sure why KiCad DRC didn't catch this?

              Seems like that was the only big mistake though... All LEDs working first try :)
