PCBWay review

[Chumanista]

Hi!
I made an in-depth review of PCBWay with comparing boards to gerbers and stuff.
Please check it out:

Great job on the review Chumanista. Thanks for the effort you put into making it. Your method of comparing scanned images of actual boards to the gerbers was also very interesting.

Honestly neither am I a huge fan of this but I'm a high school hobbyist on a budget and free cash is free cash.
I tried to outline all negatives and be as truthful and possible. I would be doing this video nonetheless and nothing (well, apart from the disclaimer) would change if they were not paying me.
It was not all praise, it is a good service for the price but not perfect.
There was an old thread for PCBWay this but no posts since a long time so I decided to make a new one as is usually the norm on forums.
Thank you for the positive comments, they really encourage me to keep working

Thank you!
I just realized I forgot to mention the fees they try to add for "more than one board".
Oh well, nobody's perfect.
I'd also love to hear some topics for further videos.
What would you like to see? Other manufacturers reviewed? Tools? Projects?

That's really amazing. I love this video. Have you tried to compare the PCB boards from PCBWAY and other manufacturers? Normally, PCB boards shall be made as accurate as the Gerber data shows. The accuracy can be up to 0.01mm and the tolerance is 10%.

Not yet, I didn't order form anywhere else in quite some time (given the choice between free and not free ).
I'll try to do some more in the future though.
And as to tolerance: When the price is $1/board the fact that it works as intended is really enough for me
