Printing PCBs?
« on: Thu, 29 August 2019, 23:52:59 »
Where does everyone get their proto PCBs printed? I'm dabbling into circuit design and baby-ee, and would love to get some of my proto-pcbs printed.

Don't want to break the bank, but want something reputable.

I don't really know much about PCB printing but since no one has replied, there's JLC.

Ah! They look decent. But sadly have a minimum order quantity. They may be the goto if I ever run a GB, but sadly not great for prototyping.

I've used DirtyPCBs.com once, but they make only tiny ones and their name implies that the quality is not high enough for production. You get 10-ish number of 2"×2" cm boards for $12 or 4"×4" for $17.

DirtyPCBs no longer have size limits, and I don't think the quality is an issue anymore.

I've also used Seeed (3 e's) Studio Fusion with good results.

dirty pcb has been great for me on prototyping but I would agree their quality isn't production ready. They also now sell acrylic cuts so you can prototype your whole keyboard in one go
