IDK, most of the kits require soldering (because the industry is fundamentally braindead) and if you go look at the various online communities, you’ll quickly see that this is one hell of a filter.
Leaded is objectively better for everything except health/pollution. Which is the point of RoHS.
Leaded solder has a lower melting point, flows much better, easier to visually see bad solder joints, and doesn’t form whiskers. Also less brittle, so cracked joints are less likely.

i’m scared of the magic cancer smoke
Just get the lead free solder and no clean flux, it’s much less cancer
Yeah lead free solder is perfectly fine.
Where I live, lead solder is even illegal to sell and buy unless you have a permit which is impossible to get for individuals
Lead free sucks ass and you can pry my leaded solder from my cold dead hands.
Seriously just wash your hands.
What about the fumes?
Fumes don’t contain lead, it’s not nearly hot enough. Those fumes are flux burning.
That’s good.
But I still don’t get why someone would willingly use lead when lead free works great.
I mean the RoHA for example exist for good reason.

We were taught that at high school…
Same here, but I’d still be pretty annoyed if I had to do it to put together a drone, it’s a pain in the ass.
Soldering is so easy.
Yhe worst part of soldering is losing your soldering iron every 7 years between the times you need it.
One of my many hobbies is electronics and messing with electronic instruments so I use mine fairly often.
