I always use sunstone to make my boards, I use it for several reasons. One is I get boards at my door in 2 - 3 days, and also because I can upload my Eagle brd file and nothing else required to make the boards. This is fine if I am making panels of 12"x 14" and will make at least 10 boards, the price is great. But for prototypes of of a couple of boards, the price is around 400 or so and I still have to pay 200 for a stainless stencil. So a one off proto is expensive. Does anyone have a suggestion of way to get fast boards using Eagle brd files that is not as expensive, but still does a turn around in under a week? I suppose I can learn how to export gerbers, that shouldn't be too much to figure out, so as a second resort I will export gerbers and use a Non - Eagle process. Any suggestions? I forgot to mention, it is nice with Sunstone just to click "add stencil" and choose the stencil options, just a few days turn on the stainless as well. Suggestions on an alternative stencil provider would be welcome too.
Thanks,
