Hi -
I just received a design that was processed on panel #1245… all the lands, pads, and via on the solder side are completely covered with solder mask. I don’t think I can build this board! I have made many other boards before this and I don’t think I did anything differently this time… Any idea about how this happened?
Thanks, Jon.
If you got no feedback from BatchPCB on this that’s pretty bad. You’re not the first:
In the FAQ they claim “…Multiple humans will be looking at your design…” One would hope that they would spot something like this.
Makes me nervous for the design I now have “Processing”…
Update - I discovered the problem - my mistake. I zipped up the GTP layer instead of the GBS layer, so I didn’t have any bottome side solder mask. Lesson learned - don’t do these things when I’m very tired!
Sorry to hear about your board. If you ever have any suspicious on whether or not your design is ok, please email us withing 24hrs of making your order and we can prob fix it. If you have any further questions, email us support@batchpcb.com.
