| The elephant in the room. Rapid PCB manufacture should there be sanctions. |

| Ed.Kloonk:
Not wanting to get all geo-political on your asses, just someone who may or may not want to order a few rapid PCBs this year for hobby projects, I understand this morning that I can't but buy certain Wodka or certain breeds of cats. So, in anticipation of still more stupid disappointment delivered my overlords, I'm content in the fact that the instance I set aside time to pull the trigger on my projects, I may get a shit sandwich. So what are my options? Should I dig out my etch kit from 1984? (!) I hope you can interpret this OP as a bit silly, granted, but still be prepared to offer my question a serious answer. |

Hi: Hard to think, on that one, Ed! I feel some guilt, just carrying on with a day of (avoiding) doing any WORK... I think there are those, that want a complete full-on strike, it's tough call, as I have heard some details, regarding Americans in denial, as WWII loomed, around 1942'ish... For the one instance here, a 'few' hobby components is maybe with other solutions, even perhaps getting some new players, in that supply...but they'll have to do the 'learning curve' real fast... But, Ed, I suspect you mean this in a bigger, more general context...I struggle to absorb the news, lately. But perhaps THAT shock-daze is your answer, lame as that would be; That folks out there/ here don't have a coherent answer. I see, first, looking like 'caution: We don't want to provolk any trouble', and then followed by tough-talk...to the ends of the Earth, to the end of Time, we will get (you bad guys)... So caution in one hand, and a STICK...EDIT: and talk talk talk, if maybe a STICK, somewhere. I DID do a petty, worthless survey, of Television main channels 2-7 coverage, one evening, 7 pm: 3 channels had Basketball Games 1 had some kind of Diversity in the Olympics, piece. and 1 channel had, WAR action news coverage. Ed, a 'sarcastic' response seems so tempting, ...see what I mean, here? Best I can do, is state that I support, in theory, that any boycotts, etc to put pressure on Russia, but there's just SOO MUUUUUCH wrong, now, with OUR function as a country... I'll come back, if anything helpful comes to mind. But, peace, and enough of 'Censorship'. Free Speech My Ass! I bet even this response would not get past the social media 'fact check'. pffffft. (thanks) |

Alternatively, look for a local PCB fab. Pretty sure there are/were some companies doing it in small quantities here. Or buy THT componens and use perfboards ;) |

You are ordering PCBs from Russia? |
| Miyuki:
PCB manufacturing is a fishy business nowadays Do not tell me, companies like JLPCB are not selling for dumping prices, they have boards cheaper than raw materials :-// And yes I am guilty of supporting it from time to time. But mostly use local manufacturer as it offers next day delivered for simple boards |
