Looking at making a 4 layer board with the following dimensions:

4.2” x 2.95” = 12.39” sq

107mm x 75mm = 8025mm sq

The prices are:

BatchPCB $100 lead time 5 - 6 weeks

PCB-Pool Euro134/ $198 8 days

PCBCart $190 lead times 2 weeks or so

Anybody recommend others?

Hi Leo,

Are you sure you used the correct page for PCB-POOL ?

They also offer prices is USD ( see link below) - I use them regulary and get a free laser SMT stencil with proto orders.

Leo, heres some non spamming advice.

Get a Goldphoenix panel made up. That’s where BatchPCB boards are made, but it works out better value if you want a few boards made.

If you only want one board, I would go with BatchPCB or PCBCart.

I’ve had great luck with GoldPhoenix - very reasonable pricing and turn-around times. I use these guys all the time.

If you’re a first-timer with AdvancedCircuits (in Colorado), you can take advantage of their $500 credit for new customers, in which case your first (and possibly second) order would be free!
