Uff!

I once designed a pcb with 0402 resistors… later decided that soldering those by hand would be a pain and changed them to 0805.

I’d be terrified of bending the blade of the $100 one tho! 😅

How would I know if they don’t bend unless I test it? And what if I damage them in the testing? Uff… it scares me

I’ve been avoiding it for quite a while too… using opencm3 makes it A LOT better for me than with CubeMX…
