GBFirst time design came back flawless. Designed my first board and then searched for reputable company to make it in the USA. BasicPCB.com came up with low quantity and great price. Boards came in exactly on time and was great quality. Had a second design on hold till I saw the first one. Sent it as soon as the first one came back looking great.

GBGreat 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.

GBNo 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.

GBIt's my new go-to place for small PCBs! I've used this service to make several small PCBs and it works great! You can get a instant online quote using just board dimensions. It's easy to upload your design files, and you can put multiple board designs into one shopping cart for a single payment, which is actually really handy. Quality seems great, even for small geometries. It's a great service, especially if you just need a handful of little 2-layer boards. If your PCBs are really small, like around 1 inch square, it's a phenomenally good deal.

GBI use these guys I use these guys time after time, and they consistently deliver properly made boards. My only complaint is that they don't offer a way to reorder a previous order without having to enter board specs and upload drawings again. That would be a big plus.
