Hi Bob,
That works out to almost 10 cents per sq. inch. Try abcfab on
eBay. You can get single sided single sided 1 oz. 0.062" thick CEM-
1 for about 2 cents per sq. inch (including shipping - he uses flat
rate priority boxes in the US so shipping doesn't dominate cost).
CEM-1 isn't very good for punching or high frequency circuits. I
prefer FR4, but can't beat the price.
I haven't seen much single sided FR4 from him, but he does have
double sided. He would only be a problem if you needed the full
8x10 for a single board; the largest I've seen from him is 6x13.
If you buy from, tell him I referred you. It might get me some free
or discounted boards... I'll check with him to see if it's okay to
give out his email address so he can save eBay fees... Contact me
off-board for details (I don't want him to get spammed because ∗I∗
posted his address for a bot to pick off).
Anyone care to share their secret contacts to PCB manufacturers who
will still give/sell scraps to hobbyists?
Regards,
Dennis
