Cheap prototype PCB’s

[Tenson]

I used Quick-Teck PCB, they seem to be the best price I could find and the quality is great.

Five, everyone actually

A friend of mine Jayson Tautic use's www.batchpcb.com or used to, he's got a little review on his website for them you may like to read, here is a quote:

I’ve been using batchpcb.com for a while now, and have been truly impressed with their services. Yes, getting boards back takes a while, but I’ve yet to find any other source for getting professional prototype pc boards with solder mask and silkscreen for a competitive price.

I'm trying to find his post about the PCB's he use's now, the purple ones. The way they are made is a few people send in their pcb designs and then once they have enough to fill a sheet the order is sent in and everyone gets their pcb's made at the same time, so like a group buy kind of thing.

EDIT: Just found the link i was looking for: OSH Park ~ Welcome

This is a community printed circuit board (PCB) order. We take designs from lots of people, put them all together on a panel and then order the panel from a fab. Since we're all splitting the panel setup cost, this lets us make circuit boards inexpensively.

This service grew out of the DorkbotPDX PCB Order run by @laen and now comprises of a two-layer panel every other day, a four-layer panel every three weeks and a periodic two-layer medium run service for people needing more than 150 square inches of board.

Not used either of them myself yet but they both look quite good ?

I think this is one item that any dodgy suppliers/sellers quickly get found out, and provided you use one of the more established sources, you won't have any issues. One thing worth mentioning, is I always go for 100% e-test to ensure all the boards are good. It's not really an issue with smaller boards with only a few components, but last thing you want to find after building up a larger board is for their to be a defect in the board itself.

Here's my first custom PCB-

BTW, if anybody wants some DS3231 prototype boards (ala Chronodot, but can actually fit in a breadboard and still get jumper wires in easily), give me a shout as I've got plenty boards and chips!

Hi, I wonder if you still have any of the DS3231 prototype boards and components for sale? If so how much and how many do you have please?

Thanks
