Re: PCB Assembly services, your experiences? #pcb-manufacture
Circuithub is the same concept. I like them too...Macrofab is cheaper, but for all I know....they are just producing the stuff overseas when it is no longer a prototype service. In all...I think this

Re: Dissatisfied with group transfer
I picked my primary care physician because of his negative comments; a former patient complained he believed in vaccines.? At least one time that I remember, I was at a standards committee arguing a

Re: PCB Assembly services, your experiences? #pcb-manufacture
At my last job we used circuithub.com.? They take Kicad projects and build your BOM online which makes takes care of the parts problem pretty simply.? I can't say they're cheap or expensive, I don't

Re: PCB Assembly services, your experiences? #pcb-manufacture
I never use services that limit part usage. I just pay to get what I need. Macrofab is a newer company that has been nice. If you have under 20 different surface mount parts (and you do through holes

I have used ALLPCB.com for double sided and  layer boards with great success.  Turn around time is about a week, including shipping. David

Re: PCB Assembly services, your experiences? #pcb-manufacture
Too much design limitations to use their components. I just order boards and populating them by myself. PnP machine is very helpful thing, don't has to be expensive. I have built liteplacer

PCB Assembly services, your experiences? #pcb-manufacture
Hi all, inspired by the current discussion on PCB manufacturing ( /g/kicad-users/topic/who_do_you_use_to_get_your/39413634?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,39413634 )

Re: Who do you use to get your boards made? #fab-house #pcb-manufacture
I would add, besides gerbers and viewing, looking at the boards in the 3D viewer is also an excellent tool.? I've spotted many a detail in that view which escaped me in the design window.? After the

Re: Who do you use to get your boards made? #fab-house #pcb-manufacture
I've ordered many boards from them, and only shared a few. You can certainly do boards and not share them. Dan

Re: Who do you use to get your boards made? #fab-house #pcb-manufacture
Well, I'm not really "advocating for" PCBWay. I've used OSH park, and the reason I'm now using PCBWay is mostly about speed and, secondarily, cost for larger boards. I typically get a 2-layer board

When you make a project, you have to select to share. Not sharing is the default.

Re: Who do you use to get your boards made? #fab-house #pcb-manufacture
I have never found this option. OSH clearly stands for Open Source hardware. On their about page is states " Proudly serving the open hardware community" If there is an option to not open source your

Re: Who do you use to get your boards made? #fab-house #pcb-manufacture
I would always recommend creating Gerber files and using a Gerber viewer to check them. It is surprising how many improvements you can see looking at Gerbers. Most PCB fab houses use the Protel

Re: Who do you use to get your boards made? #fab-house #pcb-manufacture
"You have to open source your design" if you use OSH Park?? It has been a (limited) OPTION for many years... but unless there has been a change, not true. OSH Park allowed you to, if YOU wished, to

Re: Who do you use to get your boards made? #fab-house #pcb-manufacture
I can highly recommend pcbgogo.com Very fast turn around on 10 prototype boards for 5 dollars. Limits are boards need to be no bigger than 10cm square, 2 layers, 6/6mil track/spacing and 0.3mm

Re: Who do you use to get your boards made? #fab-house #pcb-manufacture
I used Seeedstudio once for a small, simple two-layer board, and was completely satisfied with the quality of the results. As nbxmike said, shipping is a major cost adder (I think it was

I've used seeedstudio as long as the panel size is under 10cm x 10cm which it almost always is.? I have never had a problem with quality or the fabrication time.? Shipping for one project is a major

Re: Who do you use to get your boards made? #fab-house #pcb-manufacture
I use a variety of PCB houses depending on what the project is, how many I intend to make and whether or not I'm going to do the assembly myself. OSHPARK is great for small quick prototype

Those in Australia might like to try https://www.ourpcb.com.au/ who have an office in Melbourne so you talk to someone local, while the fab and assembly is done in China. I've also
