[TriEmbed] Solder paste dispenser

[alex at matrixwide.com]

What’s everyone using for solder paste dispensing? Looks like there are three main options:

- brute force; cheap but wears out your hand
- air-powered things on eBay (they work OK but need an air compressor)
- screw-drive servo things

I am leaning towards this: https://www.tindie.com/products/DanM/dm---solder-paste-and-adhesive-dispenser/ <https://www.tindie.com/products/DanM/dm---solder-paste-and-adhesive-dispenser/>

Seems like screw-drive will have more controllable output and won’t need a noisy compressor. It does look a bit awkward to hold.

I may just go with a stencil for my next project, but I see that as having its own issues, such as needing to build an alignment jig.
