Breadboardkiller is coming back!

[kaveendra]

I was disappointed to see the Aussie company www.breadboardkiller.com.au has stopped taking orders. Was also thinking such an operation was not sustainable for the ridiculously low prices (being an Australian business). But got an email from Matthew this morning, saying they will be taking orders in two weeks time.. what a fantastic news to start the morning...

"Boards up to 5x5cm, Get 10 copies for AU$20"

Anybody knows a PCB house in Australia, who produce small quantity PCBs with lower price? I have an urgency, and cannot wait till "Breadboardkiller" awakes

Has anybody used these guys?

Are the boards made in Australia or China?

I just tried to start the process of getting a board made, but they say they aren't accepting new registrations ATM. Check back in a few days they say ?

Hey All,

I'm Matt from Breadboard Killer. I noticed this thread and figured I'd poke my head in and fill you in on what's happening with BBK.

First, the website is now live.  Registration and ordering are all online.  I recently spent an inordinate amount of time rewriting the webpage.   I always thought the automated upload thing on OshPark's site was cool so I've coded up something similar for Breadboard Killer.  You can now upload design files to the site, it will process the gerbers in the backend (using GerbV) and show you renderings of each layer and the front and back of the PCB.

As for your question Steve W, our boards are made in China.  I'd love to have them made here but until more people start using the service and I can offset the cost by batching orders together (if people are interested in that) it's not going to be a reality unfortunately.

Anyway, if anyone has any other questions about the site please feel free to ask!
