Great experience! I have never designed a pcb before, nor have I submitted a cad file to a manufacturer for pcb etching. This was a great first experience. My pcbs arrived fairly quickly, were inexpensive, and worked perfectly! I'll be placing additional orders soon. I highly recommend going with basicpcb.Com instead of dealing with the hassle of etching and drilling your own circuit boards.

Excellent Quality Have used several PCB houses over the years. BasicPCB exceeded all my expectations. Etching was clear, silkscreen is legible, and there were no mistakes. In addition, the pads were tinned and wicked up solder immediately for great solder joints from the first shot. Thanks

Excellent boards with quick turnaround This was my first order from BasicPCB and they did not disappoint. I ordered 5 boards and they actually shipped one day before the projected date. The boards are of excellent quality. The edges are smooth, the through-holes well plated, and surface mount pads as expected. The soldermask is crisp. I will definitely be ordering more boards from them in the future.

No quicker, more expensive, and lower-quality than OSHPark and Chinese fabs My ValueSpec order (randomly selected substrate and solder mask) was manufactured on 0.8 mm board with matte green mask. While the PCBs work fine, they aren't without fault and the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Pros: ✔️ Smooth edges, with no mousebites or protrusions ✔️ Made in the USA Cons: ❌ My boards were cut obscenely crooked on one side, exposing copper and truncating silkscreen. ❌ Very poor silkscreen resolution: Thick and sloppy, with dull edges. ❌ No quicker to fab than OSHPark's basic service tier (8-9 days), and considerably slower than SeeedStudio (4 days). ❌ More expensive than both OSHPark and Chinese fabs. ❌ Cumbersome, opaque Gerber upload process: Files must be manually renamed prior to uploading and each layer given a very specific filename, and the website has no Gerber viewer to preview how boards will turn out. ❌ ValueSpec (the only affordable service tier) doesn't even allow choice of PCB thickness, which can be critical with THT boards. ❌ Tracking number not provided unless you ask for it.

Professional looking boards for the price of a hobbyist My Order: I placed an order using "ValueSpec". My PCB design consisted of a 2-layer board with silkscreen on the top layer only. My design included an RF portion including an antenna design. Result: My board works as designed and looks better than I had hoped for. I was initially reluctant to use basicpcb because of their low price (my 5 boards cost $78 including shipping - they even provided a tracking number upon request), but I will definitely be using their services again.
