Hi! It pains me to ask this, what vendors are
hobbyists using for low cost,
low quantity prototype PCBs?
I had a run recently done by Gold Phoenix
(http://www.goldphoenixpcb.biz/) - 2 layer board, approx 3"x3.5", 100%
through-hole design, no fancy features (it was an 80C52 design that is
now sporting an ATmega8515). I sent them Gerber files from EagleCAD
and they panellized for free - their work size is 155 sq in, so I got
16 boards for $99. For the application at hand, it was a good deal
and I was happy with the results.
Gold Phoenix was recommended to me by the Makerbot guys. I've done
one run and was entirely satisfied. We will probably do a "Rev 2"
through them as well.
