New PCBs (not a video yet)
Added 2021-10-26 18:43:21 +0000 UTCTwo orders arriving at once from JLCPCB (not a sponsor) with my first attempt at vee-cut panelisation.
The PCBs on the right cost a fraction of the PCBs on the left which incurred a significant processing charge due to their size.

But how much did shipping cost you tho?

2021-10-27 15:13:45 +0000 UTCJLCPCB appear to be on form at the moment. An order I placed yesterday morning at 10:30 was shipped today at 07:24. Like Clive says - I'm not sponsored or promoting them - just a satisfied customer that hopes that their $2 for 5 boards may continue.

2021-10-26 22:45:37 +0000 UTCHow about another vid along the lines of your recent multimeter one, but looking at ordering PCBs instead? Basic options, file prepping software, how to avoid expensive options, what good and bad PCBs look like so we know when to complain, etc. It's something I've often thought of but not dipped into yet, and I just had to goggle 'vee-cut panelisation' - though Goggle insists it has a zee in it as well as the vee. To my shame, that seems to be an extremely beginner-level know-how. Oh well. Guilty as charged!

2021-10-26 22:06:02 +0000 UTC20mm is the minimum for V groove to avoid an engineering charge, for sizes below 20mm panel by Stamp Hole ( mouse bites ). EasyEDA has the Both the Stamp Hole and V groove options, Stamp Hole often creates an impossible panel that JLC will fix and email you for aproval :) JLCPCB will email you about the engineering charge for aproval if you go below 20mm.

2021-10-26 20:34:22 +0000 UTCIs this because through hole verses surface mount. good to get experience with surface mount but if they are for beginner's then I say through hole and cheep, less hit to the pocket.
2021-10-26 19:40:14 +0000 UTCJLCPCB is absolutely awesome so long as you keep in the "optimized" configuration (1 or 2 layer, individual board, 100x100mm size, 5-10 pcs, 1oz, etc...). I use them almost exclusively. Up to 4 layer boards I don't think there's anyone that can beat them for the price x time. The SMT assembly service is also pretty darn nice.
2021-10-26 19:07:56 +0000 UTCI like the expensive ones
