Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Finished boards

From: James <bitsyboffin@...>

I make my own when I need it quick, when it's simple, when it's a one-off or proof-of-concept, when I don't need soldermask, and preferably when I can get it mostly single sided.

For other stuff than that... you are right, it's not worth messing about and I just get them made in China (by dirtypcbs.com)

This question comes up every once in a while, and the reason to DIY
boils down to these:

1. No online service can deliver a board in an hour or less.
2. Because it's fun.
