Todd,
Shanghai pcb services are shutdown. Do you know of other pcb business in the US or other countries to order prototypes for testing that are affordable? I got this quote from a pcb shop here in Oregon, very expensive. File is attached.
Shanghai officials reported more than 23,000 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday. The vast majority of them are asymptomatic, but despite that, and some limited easing of the restrictions, the government has largely stuck to its strict lockdown and isolation measures — even as it battles public anger, food shortages and a major impact on business.
Thanks,
Norberto
Hi Norberto,
I use PCBCart in China but mostly because I'm getting final boards and usually getting fingers with hard gold which is prohibitively expensive with US board houses
PCBWay, OSH park, JCLPCB, etc. are some other options that might be better for prototype boards though I don't know if they'll be any better than what you found.
Sorry for not being much help, if I were looking I'd get quotes
from a few of them,
Todd

I can confirm that JLCPCB is running fine at the moment; they completed most of the processing of a (small) board for me yesterday. Shipping is modest if you’re not in any hurry, but there are multiple choices trading cost for timeliness.

Thanks both for the information. I ordered thru JLCPCB for the larger board for 5-pcs and it came out at $50.49. Just waiting for their review process.
Thanks,
Norberto

The board shipped today and very fast service from the pcb house. However less expensive shipment thru DHL means longer time in getting such board. Lessons learned. I will need to wait until Apr 27th to get such board ☹.

Groovy!
I'm curious about the 3.3V regulator - why is it not a TO-220 form-factor? What sort of device goes in that place?

Darrell,
Beautiful board. It reminds me the Heath board with similar pattern. I wonder if I can do the same pattern with KiCad. So, this week is the pcb week. I will celebrate with a Heineken tonight.
Thank you for sharing,
Norberto

Delivered today! Six days from order to delivery

My delivery slipped a little to 21 April. Board ordered on 4/13 (China local). It was in DHL's hands on 4/16 (China local time). Delivery is now 4/21 to Ohio. Still pretty good, overall. No response yet from Gerber Labs in CA. Too bad, since they were the same price as PCBWay.

I just found that I need to update to KiCad V6 to do the Copper Thieving and the curved tracing.

I’m guessing this will help with soldering to large areas? With solid copper ground planes I often have to hold the iron on the connection for quite a while (a minute?) to get a clean connection

I did see the hatched option for ground planes (fill zones) in kicad v5 (Ubuntu kicad 5.1.5+dfsg1-2build2), so you might not need to wait until v6 for that feature.
