content: I want only one PCB, with maybe 6-10 layers.

You enter your board's specs and it shows you prices and shipping times from up to 26 different PCB manufacturers, including some of the best known companies in Asia, North America and Europe. In your case, fewer than 26 manufacturers will be displayed, because many don't do 6 or more layers.Full disclosure: I created PCBShopper.- Bob Alexander

content: Quote from: sarepairman2 on February 13, 2016, 07:18:34 pmcan you be more specific about your design such as the smallest hole and trace width?6 layers board is different from 10 layers board. the majority of PCB fabricators can make 6 years board. and over half fabricators can make 10 years board. usually, a fabricator make 3-5 board together. you may have to order several board at a time. for cheap price and decent quality fab, you can checkPCBWay.

content: It would be nice if one of the aggregators like OSHPark could convince a PCB house to do a 6 or 8 layer panel once or a few times a month for them so they could do for 6 or 8 layer what they do for 2 and 4 (at a higher price, of course). Still hoping for that someday. Until then, it is NEVER going to be "cheap" to get a single 6+ layer board made. Even OSHPark has a 3 board order minimum. OSHPark is $5 per square inch for 2 layer and $10 for 4 layer, for 3 identical boards. If they could do $15 for 6 layer or $20 for 8 layer they would see some orders from me, at least. Not sure why no one has been able to get a PCB house on board for something like this so far. Any ideas?

content: When I talked to the guys at OSHPark last they said there was sufficient demand for 6layer, and that they were working on it. This was a few months ago, so time will tell.
