What I've found that works is to set up a hot air on some helping hands so that it's aimed a few centimeters ahead of where your soldering and let it preheat the board. I hold all the components in with a long strip of foam so I don't have to do anything but chase the hot air around with the soldering iron. As for why the thermal relief was removed, this was an early design and I don't think I had figured out yet how to manipulate all the settings in kicads filled regions. So at the time letting the default settings add thermal relief resulted in very thin traces for the ground and power rails at each connector. I wanted the traces to be as wide as possible so that I didn't have to worry about the current carrying capacity while daisy chaining these. Now that I've actually built with them and used them, the traces probably don't need as much capacity as I gave them.mARChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02316955986025961010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915062462128065384.post-84764294861492372392023-06-20T13:57:59.437+02:002023-06-20T13:57:59.437+02:00(Hi - looking at your design in KiCad, I was wonde...(Hi - looking at your design in KiCad, I was wondering why you added the second GND layer, which eradicated all of the thermal relief on the pads.

This is a cool project but it's nothing more than a Rube Goldberg machine. Its fascinating to watch. But if you wanted to create ASCII art or just type a letter the TRS-80 Daisy Wheel II printer would have given you which could type 500 words per minute allowing a whole edge to edge top to bottom 8.5x11 sheet of paper to be printed in about 6 minutes counting there will be an average of 3000 characters per page using a 12 Pitch Character wheel and using Non-proportional spacing.
