I am re ordering alex88's BPA 150 pcb. If anyone would like any please let me know, the more orders i get the cheaper the price.
I will leave the buy open for 10 days.
The pcb's are 2oz copper double sided solder mask silk screened from goldphoenix.
Airmail shipping the the US would be around $6 for 4 pcb's (to build two monoblocks) , i will do everyone in the UK for free
When i see how much intrest there is (if any) i will sort out pricing and paypal costs.
The original thread is here , and the designers website is here .

It is costing me 149 dollars to make and ship 10 pcb at the moment, but i am hoping to get a lot more intrest to bring the board cost to round 10$ each for everyone.
Yes madfinn, i will ship to sweeden, i will charge you whatever the post office charge for postage.
I would be in for 4 boards if the price for each goes around 10$
I guess postage charge to Canada would be similar to the US.

Hello Here is an update on the board prices. If i get 36 orders for boards (40 including mine), the boards are around $9 each, as i am going to use 4oz copper instead of 2oz.
Could everyone wanting boards for definate, please email rhys@pressure-drop.org with your name, forum handle, address and amount of boards. Thankyou
Had the quote back for double side silk screen double side solder mask, 4oz copper. 40 boards @ 9.50 each.

Estimate cost is in US dollar, not pound, correct?
If so, I will take 8.
BTW, Alex Website say the pcb is designed to use SMD and thru hole components. Anyone knows whether this is the case? I never solder SMD components 🙂

The estimate is US dollars, yes. Yes some of the components are SMD, but its easy when you get the hang of it.
Here is the BOM and the complete schematic. Note, you will have to manually open the file with winzip or winrar etc, as it has no file extension it seems.

I am interested in 4 boards (for a BPA300) but i am a little scared as i never had a SMD component in hand and just don't know how to solder it. Will it be a heavy task as i don't any specific tools?

Boris,
If you have a thin enough solder (i prefer 0.5mm) and a small ish tip on your iron, all you need to do is apply solder to one of the smd pads, let it cool then heat the pad back up, with the iron on the pad then you just simply slide the component into place with some tweezers, remove the iron and your component is tacked down. Then you may apply solder to the other pad of the component normally, as the part is allready pinned down. I have found this is the easyest way to solder this package size of smd component. Once you get the hang of it, it is no harder then any other component.
