Bangladeshi Engineers- where do you usually print your PCB from?

[lichurbagan]

Do you print from any local PCB manufacturer or make your own at home using iron, ferric chloride ete.?

[lichurbagan]

Techshopbd used to print upto 2-layer PCBs but they no longer print PCB. Electronic companies have their own PCB factory but they do not print from outsiders. I am thinking about sending my designs to NextPCB. I would like to know if other engineers from Bangladesh are trying their service.

Are you considering producing a prototype or a small batch in China?

[lichurbagan]

For this time being, prototype only.

Thanks for sharing. Many engineers I talk with use Chinese PCB manufacturers for prototype builds because of cost and lead time advantages, especially when local options are limited.

Always china,  it's better in almost every way vs home etch.

It's very rare that a weeks delay to get a PCB from china is an issue.

It's not just the etching, it's the soldermask / PTH / silkscreen markings / 4 layer

Thank you. Which particular service you usually use? Did you ever try NextPCB? I came to know from their website that they have factories in China.

I use PCBway if I want quality,  or JLCpcb for cheap quick-n-dirty prototypes/dev boards.

You can place orders on online pcb companies .... My first choice would be PCBWay .... but you can also order on ALlPCB, JLCPCB etc.

JLCPCB is another decent option for hobby level PCBs, but you may want to talk more with them before going for a commercial/industrial product that can't have defects (like IPC class II or III)

Gotta check their shipping cost. Thanks.

Quit pluggin' NextPCB, never heard of them lol. Your posts are literally spam:
"Did you ever try NextPCB? I came to know from their website that they have factories in China."
"Also, when you print the PCB, choose a dependable manufacturer like NextPCB /JLC or similar to keep it free from manufacturing error."
"Along with these {books}, there are many resourceful tutorials on PCB design. You can start with this: https://www.nextpcb.com/blog/how-to-make-your-own-pcb-diy-circuit-board-steps

Don't know about NextPCB, but I will always go with PCBWay or JLCPCB ..... best in the business ....
