Public Made by Adomby adom
Ship a KiCad molecule to the Adom wiki: local KiCad STEP, board, schematic and fabrication export (<slug>-fab.zip, export.json) through the Adom Bridge, handoff to molecule-publish (the wiki's model registry builds the GLB, footprint and symbol from the sources), and import of the built molecule into Hydrogen with adom-wiki model import.
