I've been playing with their online quote, and I noticed some irregularities when you get a quote on way, then backtrack and do it another (like with and without assembly, or when you change from single boards to panels). It seemed as though they forget to reset some variable and I got different prices.
So I got in the habit of always starting from step 1, and submitting the starting ZIP file. That way I had more predictable results.
Overall though, it is EXTREMELY economical to print with them. My small board costs me $100 CAD for 500 with shipping including assembly of 2 SMD resistors and 1 SMD capacitors. That's $0.20 each; making my own PCB boards is not even close to worth it.
I'm going to solder the switches/buttons/rotary switches/rotary encoders as well as the JST XH connectors to start. I'll see about the PIC MCUs main board later; gotta start somewhere.
