This is a service i can recommend highly. The PCB's are made in Europe and so this is best for EU members. I have looked at China and US based services and some of them are good but when inside the EU, their shipping costs are very high. Now i have a great alternative for the EU.

Did i tell this is from the Slovenian Elektronik magazine AX elektronika ? I know the director for a long time and that is why i can easily recommend it. Here are the instructions:

Have Your PCB Place
General information of the data preparation and order

AX elektronika is joining PCB files from electronics designers and adds them on a big PCB panel. When the panel is full of PCBs we send it to an European PCB factory. All PCBs are electronically tested, doublesided, have Top silk, Bottom silk, Top mask & Bottom mask.

Preparing your files

Your files should have the following extentions:
Bottom side: *.GBL
Bottom silk: *.GBS
Bottom mask: *.GBM
Top side: *.GTL
Top silk: *.GTS
Top mask: *.GTM
Board outline: *.GOL
Drill file: *.DRL

Compress all files (into ZIP or RAR) and send them to our email: bojan (at) svet-el (dot) si

Detail procedure

All data are loaded into CAM SW where we check if anything is missing in the files, whether Drill file corresponds to the actual board files etc. The Board outline dimensions + added 5mm for contour routing are basis for the price of the PCB. If the board is smaller than 20 cm2 (for example 50x40 mm) we will charge aditional 4 Euro for manipullation cost. At that point we send you information about the cost of your board. When you confirm our offer we start with detail check of the files to check width of lines, holes or spaces between elements etc. and send you a preview of the PCB.

In the preview we will indicate potential problems. At that time you may check your board once again and if the board has to be changed, now it's the time to do it FREE of charge. All further changes are charged at 5 Euro.

When all is confirmed we send you proforma invoice (or charge your Paypal account). When the PCBs are made we ship them to you in the bubble envelope to protect the PCBs from being damaged.

When will I receive my PCBs?

You may check the status of the panel at this web page:

At the bottom of the page select your language. Web page is translated with Google translate

Prices of the PCBs:
The price for finished PCB is 0.175 Euro/cm2 for ordered area. We make 2 panels means that you can order 2, 4, 6 etc. PCBs.

Example:
Your board dimensions are 14 x 33 mm, what’s the final price for minimum order?
1. If PCB board area is 4,62 cm2 i.e. smaller than 20 cm2 then add 4 € manipullation fee
2. For contour routing add 5 mm to each board dimension: 19 x 38 mm = 7,22 cm2
3. Minimum order are two boards: 14,44 cm2 x 0,175 € = 2,527 €
4. Add manipulation fee, postage cost and VAT, that's your final price.

Postage cost within Europe:
Non registered letter: 2.18 Euro
Registered letter: 5.22 Euro

All prices are without 22% VAT.
If you are an EU VAT registered company, please send your full data including your VAT id. No. which will enable us to charge you without VAT.

And why do i make an advertisement you might wonder? Well the more people order, the quicker these panels are filled. And that means a quick pcb.

UPDATE: so i got my PCB. I was lucky the panel was quickly full. So it took just 1 week to get the PCB's. Very Happy
