´thank you. One thing, can you have a small border around the board 5mm? with such a border it is much easier for assembly lines or something like a pulling border?
There is almost that now but there are a few parts within 5mm of the edge. Not sure about that as I didn't really design it for automated assembly lines (something which I know nothing about). I suppose you could use a slightly bigger board size.

As I asked several companies for manual / automatic assembly (EU), most of them said they would do only manual assembly because of the very small (0402) components. However there are larger companies can do automatic assembly, but you have to order 1000+ boards and pay for the programming and assembly line setup about 1500 USD!

Imho below 100 boards manual assembly is the first option, however its more expensive.
