pcb manufacturing for prototype

[Deepdark]

Hi guys

Where do you get your prototype pcb print? I need to print 1 pcb for a prototype and don't want to spend 280$ on a single board XD

Thanks

Why not etch your own?

there are plenty of places that would do a low run.  Around here prototypes are done as 5  X pcb's as the cost  goes down for some odd reason.

@ RuudNL: It's double layered, and the project will appear here as a futur kit or pcb, so etching isn't really pratical

@pucho812: Yes the price go down quickly because they have minimum charge for all the setup.

The pedal guys use OSHpark.com or small runs.

I use seeed studio.
I got 20 rather large boards made for what I would pay for 6 boards at oshpark.

I've been using Accutrace (www.pcb4u.com) for some double-sided boards that fit into the 100mm x 120mm Hammond extruded boxes.  Limits: no silkscreen on the bottom, simple tin finish, and the solder mask is kinda thin. But ten for $3/each plus $10 for shipping is a good deal.
