Ask HN: Alternative to BatchPCB

4 points by harrisonhjones 15y ago ↗ HN

Hey HN, first time post. I was reading through the comments on another HN article when I happened upon and HN-user's website that provided a service similar to BatchPCB. I can't remember the article but I remember that a few HN users were bickering over the way the HN-user ran his service (money issues or the like). Does anybody know the site I'm talking about? Also, what other alternatives to BatchPCB do y'all recommend?

Thanks for the reply. I am still looking for that one site if anybody knowns it. If it helps, one HN user was saying that the site-owner (another HN user) was running his service like a metered utility and should instead charge an baseline fee + sqr inch fee since it would make him more money.

You might want to take a look at ValueProto from Sunstone Circuits. If BatchPCB is in your price range, but you want a guaranteed delivery date, then the ValueProto is the way to go.

You don't have to use a sketchy supplier to get reliable and affordable boards. Your peace of mind is worth the extra $5 on the order...
