When designing a #PCB and I need some "Goldfingers", how do I should design that? What to use in the schematic to get the correct footprint in the PCB?

At #fabacademy one assignment is about electronics production. This documentation by #fablab Kerala in India explores various materials and methods for their suitability in producing effective PCB stencils that can be used for accurate solder paste application. All done more or less before but at the end they use a xtool f1 ultra to solder the components. And that is pretty amazing!

Anyone by change needing a #pcb from #JLCPCB with either C3322939 (2x10 Pin socket P=2.54mm)) or C598603 (2x10 Pin Header P=2.54mm)?
JLCPCB didn't have these (nor similar) Parts in stock, Because of MOQ I'll end up with some spare parts::
2x C3322939
6x C598603
It's my first time ordering from JLCPCB but if I understood their terms correctly then they won't offer to ship these parts to me, but only keep them in a dedicated inventory for me for future PCBA orders
Fixable? The good thing: I got a second #PCB that doesn't look busted, so I could read the markings and find the components. Worth a try, right? Otherwise, the whole label printer is garbage as I can't get a replacement mainboard.
This mainboard is from a #zebra #tlp2824plus label printer.
I got 2 for 20€ shipped and untested without PSUs. One looks fine, the other like this.

Updated, a bit more structured version.
BTW: I am grateful for every input and every tip!
My Adelaide coasters arrived! I'm super happy with the PCB, it came out beautifully.
Helpful JLCPCB tariff faq. Incredibly depressing. Pretty much prices out most of my Tindie things. https://jlcpcb.com/help/article/us-tariff-policy-faq #pcb #pcba #jlcpcb #tariff
Looking for a printed circuit board (#PCB) designer/artist who takes #commissions ! We're designing a simple, but interesting kit for our grand opening in June!
Please retoot/boost for exposure!
I build #circuits to drive projects, like a kiln controller or a robot. My prototypes are built with bought modules on #veroboard. A module takes Vin and GND, and provides IO as SPI, I²C, 0-5v, etc, so I can ignore the specifics of each chip and work on the fun integration stuff.
The problem arrives when I want to make a #PCB without modules. I then I have to open a million datasheets and spend a week finding components, fixing footprints and routing.

I just finished my first attempt at a design for a schematic symbol in Kicad for an MCU (STM32N657Z0H3QTR).
Malware is a model designed to correct other malfunctioning robots. He was intended to infect and commandeer their operating systems, and ultimately force a fresh reinstall.
But Malware finds these units to be delightfully unique rather than broken. Instead of hacking into buggy bots to change them, he acts as a sort of guardian, identifying and patching their vulnerabilities so they can secretly carry on as they are. Some systems may indeed wind up prey to Malware's viruses, however - databases tracking buggy bots go offline now and then, and suspicion is growing around whether this model is functioning as intended.
This sticker sheet and the corresponding pin design are still available in the Short Circuit pre-order store - you can still get in on the initial fulfillment until surveys and the store close!

I'm planning another module for my #StackSynth - a #VCF based on the #LM13700 and the Skull & Circuits VCF-3: https://www.skullandcircuits.com/vcf-3/
I already designed the #PCB in #KiCad but wanted to test it on a solderless #breadboard first. It works fine, so I ordered the PCBs.

I'm looking at #Waveshare!
What do you think how I should design a fitting case for it? Tons of test prints and wasted filament? Damn...
