Manufacturing Cost Comparison
Manufacturer quotes retrieved October 26, 2026. USD; quantity 10 for each scenario. Active layout: 50 × 80 mm, 4 layers, 1.6 mm thick. Gerbers generated successfully. No order placed.
Delivered-cost comparison
Totals below use standard parcel shipping, not sea freight or customer-owned courier accounts. These are two alternative batches, not a combined order.
Important assembly qualification
The manufacturer responses return an assembly add-on but do not separately identify component procurement cost, stock availability, substitutions, sourcing charges, or testing/programming charges. Consequently, $35.36 and $104.33 are sums of the returned quote fields, not verified all-in turnkey costs for ten fully populated working controllers. Con...
JLCPCB is cheapest: 10 bare boards cost $17.20 delivered, versus $55.85 PCBWay, $78.10 Aisler, and $248 OSH Park, using the quoted standard shipping options.
For 10 assembled, the returned PCB + assembly + shipping totals are $35.36 JLCPCB and $104.33 PCBWay, but component procurement costs weren’t explicitly confirmed—these are not yet verified turnkey prices.
The full breakdown, per-board costs, shipping alternatives, and lead times are in Manufacturing Cost Comparison in project files; the next step before ordering assembled boards is an itemized, component-inclusive quote.
