Concept: a 3D printed board serves as a structure for holding components so they are easy to solder. This can be described as dead-bug soldering with support structures. Note that Dead-Bug Soldering is useful for high frequency circuits - by the way.

  1. 3D print a circuit board with channels and physical infrastructure for holding all components.
  2. Bend the leads so they touch, and use wires to solder as needed. For through-hole components, this is fine.
  3. This is not fine for small feature advanced microelectronics, but 2.54 mm components would work.
  4. Soldering is quick for 2 wire components that touch each other. We can have the 3D print serve as a holding structure that makes soldering easy.
