Ordering custom circuit boards

[rockyd]

I am wondering if anyone uses any of the pcb manufacturing companies?

If so, do you recommend any for low volume(1-5) hobby circuit boards?

There was some discussion about this in an old thread.

Found it:

Thanks, I did find that one, but it didn't give me any useful suggestion for companies, 2 of the links were dead and the others didn't seem to cover small volume pcb manufacture for hobbyists.

What was wrong with Reschs recommendation of Sesame Electronics in post #4?

The links works fine for me and their website even specifies "Hobbyists and businesses welcome".

The two links that didn't work are below.

gives me
"Index of /

favicon.ico

Apache Server at Port 80"

gives me
"Not Found

The requested URL /site/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Sesame did work but gives no indication of price other than stating "low prices"

Thanks for answering.

You have triggered a new search for me to try which I hadn't before which is to add hobby to my search criteria

I now have some more to check out

Given that each project is different, I suggest you follow what Sesame says on the same page... "Email us for a quote".

SeeedStudio is my goto... They don't design boards AFAIK but provide full manufacturing including SMD work and assembly. Last time I used them, turn around was 9 days and ten boards for $10 AU. I'm shortly sending off my next board which they will be doing a full assembly and test on...
