Ask HN: Alternative to BatchPCB

4 pointsby harrisonhjonesvor 16 Jahren3 comments

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?

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...

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.
