I have a couple of Pimoroni Tiny2350's so I wanted a custom breadboard for it, they are so small it was a no-brainer.
So, dug out an old breadboard, pulled out a couple of the tracks to see how they went together, googled the pin pitch of a standard breadboard (2.54mm) and cracked open Onshape.

This is the result.

So, this fits the breadboard tracks from that old breadboard, your mileage may vary.
A Tiny2350 fits into it and the tracks are then soldered onto the castelation points on the Tiny2350.

There are 32 tracks, 8 per side for the Tiny2350, so 16 there and a further 16 below those.

Soldering the tracks

So, first a thankyou again to Jakeypoos for the sanity check. Your mileage may vary etc, but I had early luck that most of the breadboard tracks were seeming to work just on a pressure fit, no soldering so got some advice from some buddies and Jakes was basically ‘give it a crack!’.

..yeah after chasing around the ones that didn't work I listened to the Mighty Oaks who essentially said ‘yeah when you give up chasing your tail, solder them…’, so I soldered them.

Basically solder a tail of skinned solid core coming out of the tracks and fold it down and trim to fit into the Tiny 2350, then solder it (after beeping absolutely everything to make sure nothings shorting etc).
