Ahh , layer O.
Tweaked the cap , layer O.
.8mm for to-92 , 1mm for 1/4w , most everything else ... JW's 1.7mm.
I don't see how anything can be undersized. 😕

Still no outline that I can see have a look at post 407. Open the sprint layout file

I guess it depends on what colour you you have layer 0 set to.
I have mine set to white.
If you open my sprint file and change the color of the outline (layer 0) to white you will see my outlines. They also have a radius in the corner. Should be easy to see.
You can always load your fab files up on jlcpcb, when you do the quote, it does a file check, displays the gerber and auto calc your pcb size. Need to name the files appropriately according to their naming conventions, put in a zip file.
If you want I can review the fab data, send me the nda and i’ll sign it if you want this free service 🙂 I do it for every design I do, modern day convieniences = slick

You guys should really consider moving up to some better software! Sprint just doesn't have the capabilities to do the job efficiently. Way too easy to make a mistake. Any decent software will verify connections match the layout. Most do decent 3D renderings to ensure things actually fit. Let Sprint die with the TO-92 transistors!
Main board DIP1 offset 1mm (up).
Your other shift to the left is because you lined up the wrong row on dip one.
Standard IPS.lay is right on.
JW , Can't afford software. Barely afford the hardware.

I agree, sprint layout is not bad for a quick hack. But Kicad is the way to go. I learnt it in a little over a week.
This was my first design.
Prototype... schematic... 3D model... final design...
Now ...with the native "mind check" of manual sprint under my belt , how good
would I be with advanced software ?
Also , this experience is quite valuable. Most here (usa south) know not even what a mm is.
I was looking at big caps , they have the dimensions in inches.
I don't do inches !!!
Yeah , It's getting "lopsided" - SMD now beats through-hole 7800/2300 for the
Mouser discrete count.
Poor , Poor DIYA . Look at the forum. Tubes.. wires , no SMD kits ??
I am personally quite open to the "hybrid" (below). Spooky and Hellraiser
especially would be good to start. Would not want to be a "luddite".
Even with SMD , perhaps a little "Luddity" might be good.
I could actually fix my present Xeon V3 MB , with its D-pak's and sot-23's.
My sons new MB ??? I can barely even see the components. Disposable ??

I've been curious about Kicad but haven't had time to play with it. Are you able to export a .dxf from the 3D rendering in it? This is a handy option to use with Fusion for chassis design!
Any decent software will do either measuring system. I prefer imperial due to my background with machining. All my machines are old imperial dinosaurs. I'm accustomed to c*** hair being .002", so it's a valid measurement too.
"Standard" fits wolverine - KICAD
(Below) perfect fit now. Row 2 !! of DIP1 is where it goes. Macro'ed "standard"
holes line up perfect.
Kicad - says won't work on my W7. BS , I have corp. extended support
patches on my 7. Digital signing,AES is just like 8/10.
I go on my son's W10 PC , 7 is all buried in it. M$ just took 7 and "adafied"
it .... no innovation - just a sellout. (below 2}
Kicad is like Eagle + , big modern library ... lots of chips.
Guess I'll learn it.
Perfect Wolverine attached , as well.

If you get into Kicad, do yourself a favor and get familiar with Mouser parts library. They have models/symbols/footprints for tons of parts.
I prefer Eagle's interface but it certainly isn't free for such big projects. 🙁

I export to STEP and import into CAD, Im using Autodesk inventor, but Fushion 360 is about the same.
Ive attached a STEP exported from KiCad so you can import into Fusion to see for yourself.
