Another vote for JLCPCB from me, out of country but consistently good qualty and service. Fastest so far ~1 week from uploading files to receiving populated boards in New Zealand. Slower freight can trim a few $$$.Also suprisingly good is their EasyEDA design tool, streamlines the process somewhat: links to LCSC parts, output ready for JLCPCB for both PCB and PCBA. The price is right. Have even managed to export to Altium, which is my preffered tool.
-------- Original message --------From: Allen MulveyI have been using JLCPCB and they have a Kicad plugin which generates all the necessary files to their specification. Using DHL it takes about 5 days to get finished boards to Rome, NY USA. At $5.00 for 10 boards it is reasonable even with a $20.00 shipping charge. If you can wait the 2 weeks it is even cheaper. My board quality has always been excellent.Allen MulveyOn 10/25/2024 5:32 PM, Clint Jay wrote:> Kicad, like any software package it will take a bit of learning but it> works well and produces excellent results.>> On Fri, 25 Oct 2024, 22:30 David C Brown,<[email protected]>  wrote:>>> Yes PCBway and JLC look favourite.>>>> Nexr.  What is a good layout package ?>> My schematics are in TinyCad.   I currently generate a Protel net list>> which Import into VeeCad for stripboard design.>> But I am finding stripboard increasingly unsatisfactory and want to move to>> proper PCBs.  I have a lot of experience using ALTIUM but that is too>> expensive>> __________________________________________>> David C Brown>> 43 Bings Road>> Whaley Bridge>> High Peak                           Phone: 01663 733236>> Derbyshire                eMail:[email protected]>> SK23 7ND          web:www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb>> <http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~dcb>>>>>>>>> *Sent from my etch-a-sketch*>>>>>> On Fri, 25 Oct 2024 at 21:50, Clint Jay<[email protected]>  wrote:>>>>> I think it depends how fast you want the PCBs, I've used JLC a few times>>> now and never paid much more than a tenner for 5 or 10 boards Inc>> shipping>>> by using the China Post option.>>>>>> On Fri, 25 Oct 2024, 21:44 David C Brown,<[email protected]>  wrote:>>>>>>> pc way are cheap but transatlantic shopping inflated the cost>> enourmously>>>> On Fri, Oct 25, 2024, 13:01 Gordon Williams<[email protected]>  wrote:>>>>>>>>> I've used PCBway with good results.  The prototype board service is>>> very>>>>> inexpensive.>>>>>>>>>> Gordon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> On 2024-10-25 9:38 a.m., David C Brown wrote:>>>>>> Apologies that this must have been asked before,>>>>>> Can anyone recommend manufacturers of one off PCBs in the UK?>>>>>> I am looking to single or possibly double sided with solder resist>>>>>> __________________________________________>>>>>> David C Brown>>>>>> 43 Bings Road>>>>>> Whaley Bridge>>>>>> High Peak                           Phone: 01663 733236>>>>>> Derbyshire                eMail:[email protected]>>>>>> SK23 7ND          web:www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb>>>>>> <http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~dcb>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *Sent from my etch-a-sketch*>>>>> -->>>>> http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist  PIC/SX FAQ & list archive>>>>> View/change your membership options at>>>>> https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist>>>>>>>>> -->>>> http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist  PIC/SX FAQ & list archive>>>> View/change your membership options at>>>> https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist>>>>>>> -->>> http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist  PIC/SX FAQ & list archive>>> View/change your membership options at>>> https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist>>>>> -->> http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist  PIC/SX FAQ & list archive>> View/change your membership options at>> https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist>>-- http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archiveView/change your membership options athttps://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
