You can have your PCB produced at EasyEDA (https://easyeda.com/) for they are the cheapest around and they can ship with DHL. You don't have to design your PCB with their tool but it's quite good nonetheless.
You can also have your plate cut in China. I used Hek's (https://www.chinalasercuttingservice.com/) and was satisfied with the result.
My M0116 has been sitting in a box now for quite a while, and I've been debating on what to do with it. Maybe build the adapter... or this?? I'll be watching to see how this turns out.
This is very interesting, following!
I went with the atmega onboard, opted for the 10x10 atmega32u4Friendly suggestion: Get yourself some flux. It makes the soldering job ridiculously easy.
Update 17/11/17
PCB has been sent off to PCBway and is currently being fabricated as I type this, hopefully everything turns out well, it has been checked over a hundred times so fingers crossed. Glad I learnt how to do it, obviously this is revision 1 so it can be polished further but as a proof of concept I am happy with what I have produced. All components for a single board have been procured, digikey is unbelievably fast, shame their postage to the UK is insane, definitely makes sense for bulk orders though. I went with the atmega onboard, opted for the 10x10 atmega32u4, its a little overkill for my application but leaves room for expansion. Next up design wise is a plate (need to figure out stabiliser mounts) and a case which is a whole 'nother story.
Next update will most likely be when I recieve the PCBs, lets hope they work!

PCBs are here! And as I already knew I messed up the bottom row, accidentally aligned it to the Tab row not the Control row, oh well easy fix! Atmega and all assorted tiny components were soldered onto one of the board to test and it works perfectly, I do however think the corrected board might be Teensy based, much easier for anyone interested in this board to create themselves.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/6x5MWAe.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/F87u7Wi.jpg)
Project will most likely be on hiatus until January due to other projects/work but I'll endeavour to keep working on it and any updates will of course be posted here.
Will you show more of the PCB?
Don't make it for a Teensy - use an Arduino Pro micro. Much, much cheaper.
Been using bothe the micro and the teensy extensively over the last few days, either is possible but I much prefer the mini usb port. You're right though the Pro micro is significantly less expensive
Everything. I like custom projects and I'm curious about the layout and all.Will you show more of the PCB?
what did you want to see?
