some are real big and most have been adapted from fonik's wonderful site and MFOS cv distributor PCB... (sorry all)

I count about 99000 cm x cm, guess it's quite heavy Cool

Thank you !

but as far as I understand, for a 160mm x 10mm PCB (0.5249 x 0.3281), they charge you 37.80€ (without VAT and shipping),

plus 12.19€ for shipping,
(shipping is only "take away" or via "dispach rider")

total 59.99 € for one pcb, plus 15 days for delivering...

Arghhh ?!

I was thinking it was the bill for my whole 12 pcb set...

I hope I've missed something.

Running a single PCB is always going to be expensive. You need quantity to get cheap PCBs. Although I'm sure you can get them cheaper, I'm not sure that'll be in Europe.

You might want ask Fonik where he did the PS3100 boards.

At 6 or 8 euros, you still won't get all 12 for 60 Wink

But privately done PCBs will always be cheaper than professional runs.
I pay about 3 euros for 160x100 PCBs when I do them myself.
