I'm EU based, so only ordered the parts kit from DIY Audio, the chassis is from the EU in any case. I've been building Eurorack modules for several years now, which means I have familiarity with getting a bag of parts, a circuit board, and some kind of a build guide-- that's part of what I'll be comparing to.

PCBs and components. All top quality. Very nice sturdy boards, Bournes trimmer pots, .... the baseline standard is "very good to excellent". You'll have to work hard find better components.

Board spacing is quite generous. My biggest learning issue was bending the resistors 1/4 inch out from their ends; my habit from Eurorack is to bend right where the wire leaves the ceramic. Soldering was simple and fast. I did have to raise the temperature for one or two joins where the contract traces were larger; this is expected as the larger traces pipe away the heat faster. I mentioned that I have experience, I want to add that yes, I still use the printed circuit diagram and check off each part as I add it to the board. I find this really satisfying, like crossing items off your to=do list, and a key to any successful build is parts management.

Eurorack usually doesn't require a wiring harness (it is usually etched into the top PCB, and you solder the jacks/pots/switches/LEDS directly into the PCB), so making the harness was more mental energy than expected. However, the amount of supplied wire is very generous and forgiving, and the instructions clear and straightforward. I enjoyed learning how the author(s) structured and present the information.

The instruction manual is very good. It is clearly designed for a motivated novice, i.e. small steps with lots of detail. It is also evident that the authors have walked many people through this, and iterated the build guide as they did so.

I work slowly, because this is a hobby not a job, and spend way too much time on each design decision. I'm about 5 hours in and just finishing the wire harness. I think I could build it in half the time next time.
