I don't get it. The list has no limit on complexity of boards.

"Designing, making, etching, soldering, printed circuit boards yourself.

Any method allowed by law and local custom including photo, CAM, toner
transfer, direct printing, plotter, laundry pen, silkscreening,
toaster oven, paint stripper heat gun, conductive paint or epoxy,
storebought or homemade etchant, etc."

I don't mean that to say that you must design -and- make -and- etch
-and- solder or it's off topic. I mean any of those aspects are on
topic for the list.
