Exciting News: PCBWay is Now Sponsoring MicroHobbyist!


I'm thrilled to announce that PCBWay is now an official sponsor of my YouTube channel, @microhobbyist! If you've been following my projects, you know that quality PCB manufacturing is crucial for bringing innovative ideas to life. Over the years, I've worked with different manufacturers, but I’ve noticed a decline in quality from some competitors. That’s why I’m making the switch to PCBWay— a company known for its top-notch PCB fabrication, rapid prototyping, and excellent customer service.

What sets PCBWay apart? They offer high-quality PCB manufacturing, CNC machining, 3D printing, and even custom aluminum plates, making them the perfect partner for my next big project— a custom keyboard with a custom aluminum plate for my 6309-Unleashed computer build. With rigorous quality control, fast turnaround times, and a community-driven platform, PCBWay ensures that every board meets the highest standards. If you’re an electronics hobbyist, maker, or engineer, I highly recommend checking them out at PCBWay.com.

Another huge advantage of PCBWay is their full support and seamless integration with KiCad. As a KiCad user myself, this makes publishing Gerber files incredibly easy, along with supporting files like BOMs and position files, should you want PCBWay to handle PCB assembly for you. Their streamlined process ensures that your designs transition smoothly from concept to reality with minimal hassle.

Stay tuned for upcoming videos where I'll showcase PCBWay's work in action!
