How to order the board? #4

Open vitalykorolev opened 3 years ago

It seems that this board is not for sale anywhere. Is it possible to place an individual order with the provided schematics? Any advice on the service and how to place such order would be appreciated. Thank you!

Some board printing services require a MOQ, but luckily there are sites that offer 1 or 2 count custom PCB printing. One of the most popular & accessible sites is jlcpcb.com.

You need to download the "Gerber Files" for it in the Atom47 git, and then just upload them into the jlcpcb PCB Prototype file uploader. Simple as that for the most part (might need some minor dimensions tweaks depending on the open source file author). Theres also PCBway.com.

If I remember correctly, JLCPCB also offers steel/alum/POM plate printing as well, but don't quote me on that. Either way, the stock Core's plate is obviously compatible, but thought I'd let you know for future reference.

@PancakeGoon Thank you for the reply! I tried uploading "gerber" files to JLCPCB.com and it looks like the design is interpreted correctly. It seems that they can make at minimum 5 boards for about $20, but that doesn't include SMT assembly. I got a quote on PCBWAY with assembly and it came to $135 for 5 boards.
