Should have used them to get on a plane
Out of curiosity, has anyone here used JLCPCB in the past? Just got the first revision of my ignition board ordered (after a bunch of tweaks today), want to hear otherās experiences with them. They seem remarkably cheap compared to everywhere else, for 10 boards (5 of mine, and 5 breakout boards for another project) + DHL international 2 day shipping it was only $26. Itās not a super complex board, so hopefully they canāt mess it up too bad 
Also for those that were interested, looks like bare board cost is gonna be almost exactly $5 + shipping method of your choice. Still tweaking the BOM, but itās looking like ~$15 in parts with locking connectors, or $8-10 without. That also includes LEDs, resistors, and capacitors, so if youāve got a good stock, you likely wonāt need any of those.
Iām working on my final project write-up as we speak, so I can post that when the project is installed finished (hopefully within the next 1-1.5 weeks). Time all depends on how long Amazon takes to deliver my programmer and a few other tools I need, and how long Digi-Key takes to deliver the parts.

Yes use them alot for prototypes and small batches at home and work there super quick and never had an issue. Iāve used both board and assembly service as well as 2,4 and 6 layer boards.

Haha, Iāve been going with Car-FID (eff-eye-dee). IMO when said out loud itās a decent merge of Car and RFID.
Glad to hear that, thanks for letting me know. I had a few other services recommended to me, but for a board my size (135mm by 89mm) the prices were absolutely outrageous.

Iāve used JLCPCB, Seeed Fusion, PCBWay, and OSHPark. The first three all have the same prices, and they do good work. Personally I prefer PCBWay for a ton of reasons, but if you use EasyEDA and octopart then JLCPCB is the way to go.
Iām surprised that PCBWay had the same prices in your experience, I just uploaded my gerber files for a quote, and on PCBWay itās $43 for 5 PCBs, while JLCPCB it was $9.11 for 5. Puts it at $61 total with shipping on PCBWay, while itās $23.91 total on JLCPCB. Thatās with identical options, and DHL shipping on both.

Yeah, Iāve never found a cheaper PCB fab than JLCPCB for small / low complexity parts. Saying that, I do see some small imperfections with JLCPCBās boards, and I think PCBWay has better cost at scale / more flexibility.
Mind sharing the reasons you like PCBWay? Iāve never ordered from them, but might be soonā¦
Oh yeah dont get me wrong Iāve used pcbway for a while to (longer than jlc) Iāve even used there flex service which is surprisingly good to.

Sadly it seems like not getting the better shipping was a bad move on my part. It shipped on the 9th via China Post, and still no updates since. Got a USPS tracking number with 0 updates as well. If I had paid for DHL it would have been here a few days ago
