    Not sure if anyone out there is needing any PCBs printed for anything these days - ie controller boards for your tank or another hobby, even car audio, these guys can hook you up!
    $5 a sq. inch and if you're located in the United States (I think we all are) the shipping is free!  Outside the US it is $15 for priority USPS or $5 for standard mail.

    If anyone is in need of getting a circuit for schematic to PCB let me know.  I have MultiSim, Ultiboard and Eagle installed on my PCs and am working my way through the mess to learn them both.  Can also get those that are interested in simulating the circuit on a PC some software to do just that!
    Happy Circuit Building!!

    I dont have access to make them here or I wouldn't have gone looking for cheap printing of some boards. looking at making a few boards for the circuits I am building for my arduino controller. trying to make it a kit you solder together yourself and trying to keep it around $100.

    you could go with this method if you want. I haven't tried it myself but it should work

    I couldn't find the other link but there was another method i have seen out there with printing and using an iron to transfer the image i believe

    I would think this one would be easier than the first.
    also ive seen where people will go as far as modifying an inkjet printer to print direct on the board shaving quite a bit of time off

    LOL had to share it just in case you were a hard core DIYer. I would spend the 5 bucks too i think cause it would be easier and not much of a money save for the home build.
