@lee I am approaching master grade very slowly. That makes sense in order to avoid mistakes, although it took almost 6 hours to solder only the resistors (around 60 now).
Solder points on board are so near to each other unfortunately, that it is impossible to see, if they are meant to merge, or stay separated. Some definately need to merge, others seem so near to each other - but separated - that they might need to stay sperated. Tedious! And no really help there on the Befaco site, as they don't seem to provide images of the boards as they should look like. Hmm. Half a good experience yet. #Befaco #solderKit #Eurorack

Finished, tested, runs! Thank you to @schematicwizard for feedback and the Befaco support was very helpful and quick as well.

Here's after ten hours of being slow on everything. Befacos's support now cleared a few solder points, all are okay in fact :) The boards are very dense and it isn't always clear, if two solder points almost overlapping are meant to actually make an electrical connection... someone on #Modwiggler said they should change making art on solder boards in favor of clarity of electrical flow - it isn't sooo bad actually.
