content: I'm not in a position to take advantage of your offer. But I'm wondering if you can video the production of the uCurrent and post it.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on April 09, 2014, 01:40:55 amI posted a video here on making beagle bone and I saw one here for a PCB maker in Germany (I think). They are quite interesting. I guess it's that side of me that must understand something from end-to-end. Watching the process helps a lot.

content: The online quote works well and has a wide variety of options (e.g. solder mask colors). I tried it for 3, 10, 100, and 200 units. It's competitive for the larger orders but expensive for 3 units. Not hobbyist oriented like oshpark. May be useful for pros.As for the blonde, she has plastic smile and she blabbers marketing cliches. It's interesting that some find it attractive. Must be desperate times ;-)

content: Quote from: zapta on April 20, 2014, 06:59:26 amI tried to get quote on a 6 layer board, but didn't get far. Probably due to not knowing what I'm doing and not knowing the correct jargon.Many places won't be cost effective at low quantities, right? It's a cost issue for them. Other pcb makers group together small orders.
