This is where I got it down to, mainly optimizing for paying for single sided assembly because I don’t like surface mount soldering:

Each extended component incurs a $3 fee when doing assembly, and I think I found 5 equivalently specced basic components which shaves $15 off. I also found alternate sources for a lot of the extra accessories, tens pads, cables, needles. Everything included with all shipping, taxes, fees, a batch of 5 costs $61 and you only have to solder a few through hole components, assuming I didn’t break anything in the design. I think if I returned the design to everything on 1 side, if that doesn’t make the board too much larger it could maybe save $15 total (LCSC charges $30 for shipping, but if you move those parts to the front to be assembled too, for $15 in extended component fees and probably a comparable amount for the parts, you can eliminate the LCSC order).

Not that this really matters that much because I don’t think I can get it low enough for my unemployed-ass to feel comfortable buying. But maybe it’ll help someone else who wants to make them know how low you can reasonably go if you shop around and tweak the design. Working on this is just my hyperfixation for the week driven by my dysphoria tbh
