I had to polish the dice myself (more involved than just zona). ETA: The site is jlcpcb.com

      I didn’t expect that a company like that would accept a one-off order that costs as little as you say the dice cost. (I assume you spent several hundred dollars at most.) I just figured that anyone who says “aerospace” wouldn’t bother doing business with me, but I guess I was wrong.

      How receptive were they when you contacted them?

        Online ordering form. All I had to do is upload the STLs, choose a material, and submit. They send an email in a few days to say that everything is ready or bring up any issues they find. You pay then.

        I’m pretty sure that small builds are fit into the schedule when they can.

        They’re crazy cheap and good for PCBs, which is their main thing. The first order is basically just the cost of shipping, but not Mich more after that.

        I run off my prototypes on my PCB mill to test them, but only because I’d have to wait 5 days for a good one.
