This is the Gerber & KiCad files for the Youtuber GreatScott! video "The Best way to reflow solder? Hot Plate to the rescue! DIY or Buy" Check it out here - The Best way to reflow solder? Hot Plate to the rescue! DIY or Buy

You have 2 options:

Download this repository for the KiCad Files or, download the Gerber files in the release section of this repository

alternatively if you do not want to build a PCB by yourself, you can buy here:

The price will be around 30eur plus postage fees. (I will also deliver the assembled PCB with all the components in place at an aditonal cost).
