You should be proud, that’s quite impressive. What I would recommend is that you tin your wires before soldering them. You strip the wire and then put solder directly on it. It will make soldering a lot easier. I do it by clamping the wire so that the stripped part is pointing diagonally down and then put my soldering iron at the bottom of cable and generously feed solder from the top while moving down. This way any excess solder will either fall on the table or just stay on the iron.
Did you heat-sink your diodes? Sometimes heating up a semiconductor can kill it or change its characteristics, so using a clip (hemostat or something made for that purpose) between the solder joint and the part is a good idea. Also depends on how long it takes you to do the joint. I imagine with solder reflow modern parts are a little more robust than they used to be… Nice job, regardless!
Really nice. Can tell you’re just starting out in your soldering career by how clean that is. Give it a few years and you’ll be bodging it like the rest of us vets.
I always forget you can just direct wire key switches and mount them in a 3d printed shell. Been working on a macropad project and was all ready to design a PCB, but maybe I don’t have to …
Damn. Be proud of yourself. I have seen people who have been doing this shit for years and make worse joints and more spaghetti than that.
I do microsoldering for a living. I’m able to reball CPU’s with thousands of connections. This is far better then I would have done lol nice
Damn that’s clean, what is it, some kind of sensor array?
Phew, careful. I wouldn’t mention soldering skills on this sub. Good work though.
Oh nice, macro pad or something? Stl??
Clean

Nice work, clean as flux.
Not bad soldering work. What kind of device is it?
Now try it upside down

you should be.
Neat work. You have a good set of mitts. Take very good care of them.
Nice , whats this btw
That is very well done. Nice job.
very nice work! 20years of soldering…
Hold a little longer to the part, to heat up more, and then add the solder.. will be even better. Good job.
Keep up the good work king.

For your second time soldering I’m pretty proud of you too.

That looks better than most of the stuff i build
Looks good,. It appears to be a bridge rectifier but I don’t see the m input and output leads.
