I needed a 2x2" board made. 4 sq inches so it cost me $20+shipping to get 3 boards made. Next batch is being made on Sep 6 so get your designs in quick.

    Important Info:

    What you get:
    * Three 2-layer boards(ROHS Compliant)
    * Soldermask on both sides
    * Silkscreen on both sides.

    Design Limits:
    * 6 mil trace width
    * 6 mil spacing
    * 15 mil clearances from traces to the edge of the board
    * 13 mil minimum drill size.
    * 7 mil minimum annular ring


    I have asked how much it would cost to get boards gold plated. Anyone interested in splitting the cost of Gold with me?

    Shipping within the US is included, and there are no setup fees. Your boards will be mailed within 9 days of the order deadline.

    Not as quick as a custom order but at least it is a known date.

    Fyi.. here is a pic of a board I ordered through this group about a month ago... very nice (in my opinion).

    The next panel will be gold plated. It was only $50 and I needed it. If anyone wants to split with me let me know. If you don't then you will get for free if you order before deadline.

    Gold, how decadent. I'm happy to split with you McTrivia. $25 does not seem unreasonable, since it'll be much cheaper than the usual places I go for proto.

    Now to dust off some designs over the coming weekend...

    Ah yes, I just found that. I am blown away by this. I guess I will have to make an order some time soon as well.

    I've had a number of designs manufactured with the DorkbotPDX group order. It's an awesome deal for smaller boards. I'm definitely excited about the ENIG finish this time.

    For those interested, Laen (the guy running the order) will also be testing out a 4-layer run for the September 6th order. See the order webpage for details.

    Excited about ENIG? Great that'll be $16.67 for a 1/3 share :smilewinkgrin: (just joshin)

    I didn't realise he was also doing a 4 layer run, so thanks for pointing that out. I have some RF designs that really need at least 3 layers for shielding, so I'll throw them in as well.

    Hey everyone just a reminder that there is only 1 week left to go before this batches deadline. Anyone else willing to split the cost of gold or is it just a 2 way?
