content: Hi,I've seen countless video about people making their boards with JLCPCB,PCBWay...since I live in europe and wanted to give it a try, I uploaded my Kicad project to Aisler.net and picked the partsbut do they even build the board ? it looks like they are charging for the solder of componentsI thought it was usualy part of the deal, like you get a fully soldered boardI am really new to this so I am a bit lostthanks for en lighting my path

content: IDK about Aisler, never used them, but usually, making the PCB is one thing, populating the PCB is another. They require very different sets of skills and machinery. Usually they are regarded as totally different businesses.Sometimes, as a convenience, PCB making and assembling the parts are offered as a package service, together, but this is rather an exception than a rule. Soldering the parts is not part of the deal for a PCB house. PBC stands for Printed Circuit Board, a finite board with parts soldered on it is something else, not included with making the PCB.

content: I know, but I guess I wass fooled by YT hype of cheap pcb's that ended up populated by some sort of magic I guess

content: there's something odd, the parts seem to cost around 5$, then I get to the checkout, and it's like 0 $ and checkout button is grayed.... unless I add the parts (around 10$) it does not even matchwtf... I guess I'll go a more serious/easier to use company...there is no even any way to contact them...I feel like ordering really expensive parts without a pcb

content: Aisler does assembly according to the price list:https://aisler.net/help/getting-started/pricingBut the setup fee is 75€ So the price you’re quoting may only include tha parts which you have solder yourself.The only contact address I find on their site is hello@aisler.net

content: Would definitely not recommend them. I ordered once a small PCB with parts included. They sent the wrong parts, I complained several times but my emails got not even answered.The only emails I received were annoying start-up style advertising ones from "Felix @ Aisler".

content: I've used them for a number of PCBs as well as parts delivered with the PCBs. I had an issue with them once only, when I opted for their "Blitz" service not realizing that they won't mill slots in that profile and that oblong holes in footprints also counted as such.They're more expensive than China manufacturers, but when taking delivery times into account, prices for PCBs are competitive, if only marginally.I didn't try their PCBA service yet.
