When I saw your design I must admit I fell in love. But since I live in a country outside of the EU, the parts you recommended are scarce, expensive, and hard to find. I managed to find almost all parts on aliexpress, but one major problem persists. I can't find the USB Type C connector part, the only option that even ships to my country is from mouser but the shipping is 10times the amount of the part (40USD shipping fee for a 4 dollar part). So I am asking you is it possible to make an alternative design with a more mainstream connector board like this one I found on aliexpress for example. ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001300974530.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.3a7a3c00jCdf6k&mp=1 ) It could also look cool if it was mounted on some pins. I know this is a long shot but I had to try. Thanks in advance, Jovan

Does the one you linked from aliexpress work? I am currently on fiver looking for people who could modify the design, but this Is a cheaper option
