periodic hardware hacker survey: how do you get your PCBs made?
-
Was happy enough with bare PCBs over last month that I just sent them a PCBA run. So shockingly cheap and fast, I won't believe it is true until boards show up! Game changer if it works. :)
Send updates! Would love to hear how it goes - however it turns out :)

100 boards (35mmx40mm, 6 lines, 18 placements, 1 side) 11 calendar days from file upload to boards in NYC (parts pre-staged) $2.80 per board (fab+PCBA) 1 minor defect (part moved during reflow) ...I'd call it a game-changing success!pic.twitter.com/xQtXDjkg1c

Fantastic! (Cute boards!!) Do you track which AllPCB suppliers you end up using? Do you try to consistently work with the same ones, or just bid per job?
-
If there are multiple suppliers behind ALLPCB then that is hidden from me. I have a single contact with
@allpcb.com address and boxes all come from same place and are branded with ALLPCB logo on the sides.pic.twitter.com/13I9DfuqtW

Huh! The website has changed since I last looked. As recently as this spring there was a way to upload jobs for bid.

Maybe you started at https://pcbshopper.com/ (or similar) and ended up on http://ALLPCB.com ?
-
Nope. I assure you this was AllPCB itself. I am certain of it. There was a marketplace for subcontractors (and I was unaware of any in-house fab business.) I've been referring to this as "AllPCB" so far this entire time

I put in my first order to http://allpcb.com on 4/10/2017 and it was in the current state then, and looks like it was that way since at least 11/19/2016. Maybe slightly different domain? Check your cache! :) http://web.archive.org/web/20161119150407/http://www.allpcb.com:80/ …
