See post #1 Thom, the GB is closed.
It's an excellent project and well worth the effort. - not sure how difficult the current silicon supply issues will make it to complete?
I'm considering to try this for a while.
I understand it is possible to buy assembled from a few suppliers, as long as you provide the project files. As I have zero experience assembling SMT, so that's the option I would go for.
Higher quantity can definitely drive costs down by a fair amount.
Maybe there's more people out there interested?
The problem I see is that the "hub user" needs to be located somewhere advantageous in terms of logistics / customs / taxes - not my case, being in Brazil.

Pavel, some of us are interested in your "Real prototype of the new version DSC2" but assembly issues are preventing most people from getting started with the project.
In order to construct the boards at the SMT assembly plant we need this extra data file mentioned here:
Pick & Place File for SMT Assembly - JLCPCB: Help & Support
I cannot make it from Gerber files, it would need to be created either by yourself in your PCB CAD software, or by me if you could provide the original project files.
I am happy to organise a group buy for assembled boards, logistics is my business and I can distribute boards around the world easily from my location in the UK.

Are you refering to the DSC2 version mentioned in post #1834 over in the Signalyst DSC1 thread?
I will prepare documentation for manual assembly of one of the latest DSC2 variants.
But I would like the DSC2 project to remain in DIY status.
Consider it my whim, but I don't want to publish the project for industrial replication.
On this forum, there was already a similar situation, when one user from China accused me of not providing him with the documentation for the factory replication of my other project "DSD'it".

Signalyst DSC1
First mention appears to be on page 185, then more on the following pages. Appears to be a good implementation. Of course gionag would need to approve.
