JLCPCB cannot produce the Pro Top file #19

Closed fireglow closed 4 years ago

fireglow commented 4 years ago

I've created a gerber file, using this guide, of the Lily58 Pro top plate (attached) and sent it to JLCPCB for production, but they say:

There are too many small slots in your file , it will take too much time to get it finished during the routing process.

How can I remedy this?

Seems like I can't upload the gerber zip file to GitHub, I've uploaded it here: https://fireglow.de/755/gerberTOP.zip

Oh, I just saw, they want another €12.30 to make it. Black LeadFree HASL, 10 pieces, their initial estimate was €12.27.

A few months ago, they have started asking more for keyboard plates for this reason. They are also more picky when inspecting the gerbers and have been rejecting more.

Use a different PCB manufacturer. I use elecrow, ALLPCB.

Okay I see, this is not a problem with the CAD files, very good. Thank you for the recommendations, I was looking for viable alternatives for a while now, will use them when I need something printed again.
