Redid and moved around a bit of the power supply, and then optimized the BOM and things for PCBA. I then realized the project would be overbudget, so I decided to get a hotplate and reflow the parts myself, which is much cheaper. I then created the master BOM for LCSC and JLCPCB.
I decided to get the hotplate off amazon as the price is only $1 more than AliExpress.
This was widely regarded as a great move by everyone.
