| **[[http://www.apcircuits.com|Alberta Printed Circuits (APCircuits)]]** \\ I like their quick turn P1 service, I dont like their weird drill-size constraints. Apparently theres a quick way to deal with this in Eagle but I dont use them much anymore | **[[http://www.apcircuits.com|Alberta Printed Circuits (APCircuits)]]** \\ I like their quick turn P1 service, I dont like their weird drill-size constraints.

| **[[http://e-teknet.com|E-TekNet]]** \\ A front-end for some PCB company in China. A friend recommended them but after making 500 PCBs there, I found their customer service to be frustrating and I was unhappy with the PCBs I purchased. I wouldn't use them again. | **[[http://e-teknet.com|E-TekNet]]** \\ A front-end for some PCB company in China.

| **[[http://www.pcbexpress.com|PCB 123/PCB Express ]]** \\ The software is lame, but the service is pretty good, apparently. I haven't had time to try it out though. Seems to be pretty much identical to Advanced Circuits in pricing and structure: Cheap (no silk/mask) next-day PCBs, a couple-day prototype service with green mask and white silkscreen, and then a more detailed 'production' service.

| - | ! www.2justforyou.com is no longer active ! (as of 5-23-2011) | + | **[[https://www.protoexpress.com/|Sierra Proto (2justforyou)]]** \\ Their DFM production staff seems so-so compared to 4pcb, and they add a $20 'service' charge to their proto PCBs which is really obnoxious (just be honest about the price, is all I ask). But when they get around to it, the quality of their "NoTouch" boards exceeds that of 4pcb w/gorgeous silk-screening. Whats really nice is that they allow much larger PCBs for their prototype runs, 80 sq. & larger. |

| - | |||
| - | **[[http://arizonacircuits.com/|Arizona Circuits]]** \\ They specialize in quick turn and prototype PCBs and have very good price points and customer service. They are based in the USA and will work with you and your PCB needs. They've been around for over 25 years. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **[[http://avanticircuits.com/|Avanti Circuits, Inc.]]** \\ Avanti has been in the PCB fabrication business since 1982 located in the Phoenix area. They are a US based manufacturer of printed circuit boards, not a broker, and provide full service in-house fabrication and quick turn, prototype and production capabilities. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **[[http://www.audesine.com|Audesine 2-Layer PCB Proto Service]]** \\ They get PCBs fabricated by the India subsidiary plant of a European PCB major. The result is a quality PCB at an affordable price. No setup, no minimum. Order just one board if that's all you need. $1.50 per sq in. Double-sided, both layers silk and soldermask. Gold finish. Every board 100% electrical-flyprobe tested. Worldwide shipping for $7. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **[[http://hightechproto.com]]** \\ 1 sq in -10 pcs for $15 + $2 shipping. Up to 8 layers for double the price. | ||

| **[[http://www.sparkfun.com|BatchPCB (SparkFun Prototyping)]]** \\ They have a 'prototypers' service, $10 + $2.50 per sq in. They use Gold Phoenix as their downstream provider, its probably good for most small projects but be aware that it may take 3 weeks to get your PCBs (they are low priority and made in China) | **[[http://www.sparkfun.com|BatchPCB (SparkFun Prototyping)]]** \\ They have a 'prototypers' service, $10 + $2.50 per sq in.

| - | + | **[[ http://Oshpark.com]]** \\ Laen sends out a bi-weekly PCB order. Boards are $5/sq. inch. for 3 copies. The quality is excellent, the boards are produced domestically, and shipping is covered in your board price. Boards take a max of 9 days turn around. Not cost-effective for producing small volume runs, but good for testing/experimenting with a design. All designs are purple mask with gold-plating | |
| - | **[[http://dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/pcb_order]]** \\ The Portland Dorkbot group sends out a bi-weekly (sometimes tri-weekly) PCB order. Boards are $5/sq. inch. for 3 copies. The Quality is excellent, the boards are produced domestically, and shipping is covered in your board price. Boards take a max of 9 days turn around. Not cost-effective for producing small volume runs, but good for testing/experimenting with a design. Occasionally some member pitches in for gold-plating and the whole panel gets it. | + | |
