Okay, let's see if I can crowdsource this. Say I have a PCB with a few QFN parts on it and I really really want the whole thing to look as much like a DIP-40 as I can. I can probably either 3d-print the black epoxy bits, or 3d-print a mold, put the PCB in it and fill it with epoxy or something to get the case more-or-less right. What I can't figure out is how to do the pins. Standard headers don't look anything near correct. I could make the PCB with castellated edges and harvest the pins of existing DIP-chips, but that's a bit eek. I could really use some of those pins that thick film hybrids have, but I can't seem to buy those separately... any options I'm missing here? I can source stuff from the usual suspects as well as Taobao, by the way, and this is a very small scale production (well, prototype initially, not sure if I'm gonna do anything with it afterwards), so I don't need thousands.
