Got my first PCBs from ITEADstudio today.
There was 12 pieces instead of the promised 10 🙂
Looks perfect.
3 weeks from order to arrival in DK ... not bad at all 🙂
With regards to cut out information, ITEADstudio want this information on a Mechanical layer .... seems like the right way to do things 😉
... now I just need to order some components from Digikey to be flying 🙂

Baldin,
Those boards look very nice. What software do you guys use to design and layout the boards to get Gerber file? Freeware I hope. What was cost and how long did it take?

It cost 10 usd for 10 boards 5x5cm at ITEADstudio.
It took 3 weeks from order until I received the boards.
Here is a good list of PCB SW https://www.olimex.com/PCB/DesignTools/
I use a very old PCB SW, because I have gotten used to this SW ... think there are many good FreeWare options today ... Eagle has a light version limited to 10x8cm boards that many uses ... KiCad looks nice ...

Wow, you can't beat $10 for 10! It's unbelievable how they can do small quantities this cheap - I guess it is all robotic? I might have to try squeezing my designs small to get this price point. Thanks.
They have other sizes like 10x10 cm for 24 USD .... see list here
PCB prototyping
Have some black 9x5 cm, 2 layer bords in order 🙂
At some point I will have to try 4 layer .... gives some very good possibilities for unbroken GND layer and better layout of supply voltages

Sure thing ... but I'm waiting for components from Digikey, and I'll get the small amp (see post #21) to work first 🙂
By any chance did you select board dimensions from the "Sick of Beige" standard PWB sizes? (See < http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Sick_of_Beige_standard_PCB_sizes_v1.0 >.)

Good question. I'll move it over to Parts. Good info here, I hope more folks see it.
No, they just look like it as I wanted to try out the rounded corners to see the capabilities of the manufactor .... and they are perfect 🙂
How long did it take to get your board from the date of order? Did you use standard delivery or DHL?
I use DHL and I think it abit too expensive for a few days saving.

3 weeks the first time 4 weeks with the second order ..... maybe because of black color and the rounded corners ... did a few mail on the outline, so I guess that caused some of the difference .... but anyway, think it is quite fast
Used the normal shipping

Ok thats good to know, Ill try standard delivery next time I have a non urgent and cheap order. But then again Im the type who cant wait so Ill probably end up paying for the DHL service again.
mange tak 😀

Where in the world are you , and how much time does it normally take with DHL? .... I'm not a patient guy either 😉

I take it '10pcs' means 10 of the same PCB, and that you can't do multiple different designs at once within those 10?
Correct. You get 10 copies of the same design. Still can´t believe you could find this cheaper .... in DK it would cost more to just send the 10 PCBs by mail from one end to the other of DK!
