I have some requests of our hosts going forward.
First, can the printed tie templates please match the quicksticks? I was waiting for some quicksticks so I used the printed templates to solder a tie one past the end of the quicksticks. Well, the printed version and the quicksticks were different, so I had to move them, which was a minor PITA.
Second, when removing the edges of Quicksticks I've had a few cases where some of the pilobond was stuck to the fingers of the part that is removed. This isn't a real problem, but creates a little extra mess. I wondered why these fingers existed. I would prefer the quicksticks were cut so the outside bits fell away as well.
Third, I wish the Quicksticks had fewer attachment points, or weaker ones. It seems like it sometimes takes too much effort to detach the edges. Perhaps half as many of the attachment points would work.
Fourth, I still wish on the frog end the jig had a PCB tie just past the end of the quicksticks. Having the rails attached to only a single tie is too weak. I do this manually, but it would be far quicker and easier if it was part of the jig.
