10 pcb for $14?

[dave walton]

I need some small PCBs made up and stumbled across these people:

http://dirtypcbs.com/

10x 5cm x 5cm 2 layer 1.6mm for $14 delivered.

~3 weeks delivery.from China.

Anyone know of a better deal?

I love their About page:

Is my design safe?

Your board will go to a cut-rate prototype PCB factory in China. In all likelihood they have too much volume to give a crap about what's on your PCB, but if this is a concern PLEASE FIND ANOTHER SUPPLIER. We intend to make Dirty Boards for open hardware enthusiasts who WANT their designs used and propagated.

Why are you so flippant?

This site was intended for friends and not the public. We'll process your boards, but we only make about 30 cents per order. We really don't care if you want to take your business somewhere else, and it's not worth our time to deal with stupid questions or asshats. Paypal fee reversals, annoying emails and the like will get you banned from the site.

I’ve used dirtypcbs. It’s probably the best deal you’re going to find price-wise for a small-ish run. Bear in mind, I still have not tried assembling one of the boards I had made yet.

If you need them a little quicker and are willing to pay a bit more, OSHpark is great ($5/square inch for 3 boards, ~10 day turnaround from a US manufacturer)- I’ve used them several times with great results (any board problems were my fault, not theirs ;-))
