I'm a fan of the channel and I have to agree, it was a pointless exercise
They seem to know about breadboards and routing software, so it is a small step to having the design laid out by software as well. Using solder as the tracks is daft too, the tracks peel off too easily and would melt if a component failed thermally. And not to be too much of a dick about it, but the first trip out they do the vibration will make most of it fall apart.
They obviously knew enough to assemble a solder printing rig, which seems to me a lot harder than designing a circuit board. I was just left thinking "why?" rather than thinking it was cool. Wasting effort reinventing the wheel rather than doing something else useful.
I guess it was an amusing excursion for them, but to me it seemed like an opportunity to ask for some help from a electronics designer.
