OK. I'll see what I can do with it, during this evening.
I might be standing down that road, kicking a can...I may need a bigger PCB in the future with everything together, but that wont be for a while down the road.
Don't forget Laen's DorkbotPDX PCB order. I use it regularly. The weekly order comes out to US$1.66/in^2 and the medium-run order is only US$1.00/in^2. US shipping included. It's fabulous quality and there's no minimum board size for the regular weekly order.http://www.olimex.com/pcb/index.html
I haven't used them myself yet, but I've read mostly positive things. Their boards look really good, and people seem happy with them. Not surprising, considering that the prices are way better than the industry average: 16x10 cm w/ double-sided with solder mask and silkscreen for $40, and in just 3-5 days + shipping.
Any recommendations for good and cheap PCB manufacturers in China that will do only 10 pieces? Most I have seen are designed for medium to high volume production.I can get pcb's from China at a fraction of the price they are in the UK.
A UK tooling charge is more than what I pay for 10 pcbs from China.
However the Chinese pcb makers can vary a lot.
You will need to get a few quotes to find the best deal.
Nice... did you etch it yourself? If so, what is your process?Didn't this turn out ok?
Thanks.wow that is sexy
Yes, this is etched at home, in my convertible kitchen lab. I got the process covered hereNice... did you etch it yourself? If so, what is your process?
Thanks. The 1-offs and 2-offs is a lot faster. From the time I print the transparent it takes 10 min UV- exposure, 15-20 sec development, 8-11 min etching. A most, I have a brand new PCB in 30 min.Another nice job. Not only is home etching cheaper for 1-offs, you can have the result a lot faster. I could have a PCB in my hand in way under an hour.
