Who wouldn't find a use for...

....Treedix?

At least, that was what popped in my head when I saw this. Handy little reference if you dabble with shrunken components. Speaking of shrunken components...well, perhaps another time...

Treedix!

Good little thing to have in your toolbox. Thing looks like a lifesaver.

That is to say...in this crazy world of SMD footprints, that thing looks like a real aide to stamen sane.

Eh? Eh?

...I'll see myself out...

You haven't filled it in yet.

What do you get when you do?

I don’t dabble in shrunken components, but my wife sure does

I have an awesome electronics ruler I got from Digikey. Saved me a few times.

Thanks for that Tim, good to have reference point.
I was doing some 0805 soldering last night and was wondering how smaller 0603 was, and I don't think I could do it by hand.
But 0805 is fine IMO. But it's all fun and games until your last MMBF5457 flies away from your tweezers. I spent a good 30-40 minutes the floor looking for it

I hate when that happens. If I ever manage to get underneath and behind my built in workbench it's going to be like Bart discovering his roof:

You should solder a bunch of stuff on there just to mess with people. Like, "Gee...what circuit is this?"

After spending many hours soldering the tiny components perfectly, fig suddenly realizes it isn't a guitar pedal.

I have a standard foot-long ruler that has all the info that’s on the treedix, got it from Taobao.

I wonder if they resized the footprints so they'd all fit?

Here is my Digikey 12” ruler:

Hey, that's sharp!

Folks, the morale of the story here is;

You don't need Treedix if you have a 12-inch.

I already have an use for them... just ask my wife! Thank you, thank you, I will be here all night folks, thank you. I will be signing autographs in the corner over there!

I like that one where did you get it?

I got it off Taobao, which is the Chinese version of Aliexpress.
