Title: new Dorkbot/OSH park?
Post by: jtn191 on June 10, 2012, 05:45:18 PM
the OSH park website has a spiffy design where you can preview your boards before they get fabbed...but it appears the charge has gone from 5 to $9 for sets of 3?

It's still $5 / square inch per 3 boards.

The new method of submitting is great as well!  Love the preview.

It's still about three weeks from submission til you see them in your mailbox.

Yeah, it takes a while, and usually longer than 3 weeks if you're international. The sites are:

1. Submission to oshpark
2. Panelization at Oshpark
3. Submission or manufacture
4. Manufacture
5. Mailed to Oshpark
6. Depanelization at Oshpark
7. Separation of orders and mailing.

You can see why it takes some time.

Does anyone else have the problem of the top silkscreen renderings not showing up when the .brd file loads?

Some of my boards show up and some don't.  I've only used the new OSH park once so far but I'm afraid to order if something isn't loading right.  My gerbers look good so I'm at a loss.

I emailed Laen, hopefully he can help.

I feel silly asking this, but the cost is based on the actual area, right?

So a board that is 1.5 square inch would be $7.50?

Yes, on the area of the board.

Lengthxwidthx$5=price for 3 boards.

My custom graphics sometimes don't show up darkly. All of the standard stuff shows up just fine for me, though.

I've got nothing showing on the top silk, not even component outlines/#'s.  But the bottom shows up fine where I have board mounted pot outlines.  I wonder if it's because I have a fair amount of custom import bmp's on the top.

Laen is a good guy.  I have not used their service though, I tend to use batchpcb.

Stay away from Feurig though... total jerk.

i used the new OSHpark for the first time and it was great.  I only wish I could design PCBs faster to send more all at once.
