Yes the solder joints are terrible, but it works and I’m proud of myself.

      Mostly just visual in terms of shine vs matte. For the quality of the joint itself, lead-free has a higher melting point so you need more heat to keep it flowing nicely.

      Your joints will do what they’re supposed so, so they’re fine. Chasing perfection is just a fun minigame.

      There are lots of LF alloys, some shiny some not. Your joints are fine, regardless of the alloy :)
