@foone This particular style of PCB routing seems to be common among really cheap single-layer PCBs. I've been wondering, is there any practical reason for it or is the result of a particular layout software?

Behold, stickers for the IGBT community :3 Thanks to @ceemos and @rappet for the inspiration.

Poke me at #dhcp24 if you want some.

@foone Oh yeah, it's probably the V186. I've seen it pop up in multiple video-related chips such as DVD player SoCs and displayport interfaces.

So… I'm writing another piece of CAD software 🤓

Say hi to Dune 3D, a parametric 3D CAD that supports STEP import, chamfers and fillets!

It's the result of gluing together the UI from Horizon EDA with the solver from solvespace and Open CASCADE for a geometry kernel.

After about 3 months of off-and-on development, it's finally ready for prime time, go check it out on https://github.com/dune3d/dune3d#readme

Don't be surprised if it's a bit janky or lacks some features, there's still a lot left to be done…
