"Getting PCBs made is fun and cheap, they'll let you draw whatever you want on there, and the cops can't stop you."

Manufacturing PCBs is very affordable these days, even for amateurs. I've made dozens!

I've been using PCBWay.com. The cost is $5 for 10 double sided boards up to 100mm. This perfect for building pedals. 10 boards is usually more than I need but it costs the same to buy 5 so I always get 1K and share them.

Shipping is $25 but that's still $3 per board. They gang shipping so I try t get multiple orders at once. If I order 6 designs I get 60 boards for $60 that's $1 per board. Of course I end up with a lot of spares.
