    Default "One-Off" PCB Demand

    Hey Everybody

    Just curious to what the demand is like for one off PCB creation is like.

    The reason I ask is I am looking to purchase a PCB Milling Machine and was thinking of offering it's services to the hobbiest people out there, charging a minimal amount to cover costs and help fund the unit...

    Of course a milled PCB isn't the perfect solution for all - but for everyday projects it maybe a cheap and viable solution

    Cheers
    Gitch

    For $US51 do a prototype board service consisting of 3 double sided boards with thru hole plating, 3.8 x 2.5 inches.

    Yes!, you're right there. I have used ExpressPCB on numerous occasions. Their boards are excellent quality and a very fast turn around time.

    For the "Standard Miniboard" prototype service their website quotes shipping next business day for orders before 2pm. I usually have the boards in my hand within the week allowing for shipping time. If you want green solder mask and silkscreen overlays it takes a few days longer.
