RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP PCB's!!

I can get 280mm round double sided coil PCB's for Pi's for $4 each for 5. Shipped DHL to my home from China.

If you want a more standard size say 100mm x 100mm DOUBLE sided, 2 Oz copper then expect to pay around $2 each! ENJOY

Carl move this to the appropriate section if It doesn't belong here. Thanks.

Sean I'm just waiting a set of boards from this company. They offer the lowest prices for boards > 10x10. I'm using cheapest shipping which was 8$ for 5 boards.
Problems with the DHL service here is that they are very keen to take their customs taxes and fees. I prefer to wait longer with the cheaper ship option. For faster service with DHL shipping (4-5 days) I use allpcb.com

the matter is not about a price of boards. matter is about hard job to make a right pcb layout. perfect, beautiful, advanced in all details, comfortable.
this is different price.
thank you all whom buy my pcb on ebay. every your cent will go in my & your future projects.

I orederd 10 boards for IDX Pro from JLCPCB.
I didn't paid shiping cause is first registration and new user.
Cost me only 5$, and arrived after 3 weeks with free air mail.

I also tried them out for the first time, results were perfect. And cheap.

would you please upload your pcb files for the spiral coil here?

I think Carl have them posted somewhere. Will try to find and give you link.

This week I tried to submit a spiral coil PCB design to JCL. They rejected it, complaining that the line spacing was too narrow (20 mils!), but in the end they said that can't make a board with circular traces. Makes no sense to me, I think they just didn't want to make it. It was big, at 285mm. If anyone has success with this, let me know.

That's interesting, I have placed an order for 188mm x 2 layer, I'll let you know how we go with that.

Yep, went through fine Carl, tried over at PCBway also and it passed audit there too

i think something with apertura movement problem. thinking they are just small group of intermediaries and ordering the pcb on a manufacture getting
the refusal.

[bernte_one]

they dont sell to usa anymore maybe you get trumped

i made an order 3 days before, today the start shipping, pcb arrive in 5-8 days

i alos tested to place an offer for 296mm dia spiral coil pcb, witg 1,5mm line width and 0,5mm gab, double side

production test without troubles, but to expensive at monent 70? plus shipping, plus oversize (end price around 100? for 10 big pcb)

will be my next order

JLCPCB are a huge company. In fact they're the largest prototype PCB manufacturer in China.

JLCPCB shouldn't have any problem making large PCBs, or anything with circular tracks.
From their website:
"Generally the PCB dimension JLCPCB can do is 5x5mm to 400x500mm for single& double layer PCB, 5x5mm to 300x300mm for Multi Layer PCB."

Probably their DRC checking design software fails with your design.

Ask him to avoid DRC checking in manufacturing process.

Well, I don't know whats going on, my order for round coils has been turned down after a day in"Production" same reason as Carl mentioned, too many circles.
The track shape can't be the problem, I even had a square carrier panel, weird.
Yet, other members on this forum have stated they had no issues.
