Single layer boards
The first time I sent the Geber files they I was quite happy with them, as this was my first prototype boards. These were single layers boards. One side the silk screen print, the other side, the solder mask. Simple Right?.. I made some small adjustments to my circuit and resent the files. They printed all the files on one side of the board and said it was my problem for not naming the files? The problem is that I had not changed any of my file names, just the circuit. And as they had already manufactured my circuit boards before with the syntax...gb0...gb2, there was no change there. Hi Yuki, Does this mean that that you will not make my boards? You made me the first board correctly, because the engineer who made my first boards understood that on a single (1 layer) board the silk screen and circuit MUST be on opposite sides. It’s the only way the board can work. NOT the silk screen and circuit on the same side, this is for (2 layer) boards. Look at the pictures, 1. The first board you made for me is correct. Order ID: G98725 yes all your layers are named'GBXXX', The factory engineer needs to look and understand that (1 layer) boards MUST have the circuit on one side and the silk screen on the other side. 2. The Gerber file that I sent you for the second board Order ID: G100365 have the same named'GBXXX', Only the circuit was changed not the files. Hi, Sorry for replying so late, it's true that the factory missed it. We have arranged the factory to reproduce, and hope to solve your troubles. Best Regards, Hi Domic, I can understand your feeling. But the problem is not because that our factory fabricated your boards incorrectly. The reason is that the names of files are not correct. According to your design, our engineer can distinguish which layer is copper, solder mask, silkscreen ...etc, but he didn't know the solder mask and silkscreen shouldn't be at the same side. Because according to the names of files, they should be on the same side. Besides, your orders are not handled by the same engineer each time. So our engineer didn't know your design last time. We just fabricate your boards according to your files. If we refund money to you, there will be someone in our company who needs to undertake this cost. But according to the current condition, we cannot find such person who has made mistakes on your order. I hope that you can undertand. Order at your own peril
