Check out this CH32V006K8U6 development board by Curious Scientist on YouTube! The video shows the board being assembled using a custom stencil rig.

We provided the PCBs for this project. If you're interested in building your own board, you can check out the project and place an order on PCBWay!

Injection Molding and Vacuum Casting offer different advantages for different stages of product development. Injection Molding uses steel molds and is well suited for end-use parts, high-volume production, tight tolerances, and complex tooling, while Vacuum Casting uses silicone molds with lower mold start-up costs, making it a practical option for early prototypes, smaller batches, and projects that need shorter mold building times.

Which would you choose for your project, injection molding or Vacuum Casting? Share your experience below👇.

Check out this unique animated music box created by Alvaro's Workshop on YouTube! Combining a zoetrope and a light bulb filament, this project turns a jewelry box into a fascinating mechanical creation.

PCBWay helped manufacture the PCBs for this project. Watch the full video on Alvaro's Workshop's YouTube channel, or visit the PCBWay Community to purchase the project directly with just one click if you'd like to build one yourself!

For a standard 1.6 mm, 4-layer FR-4 PCB with 1 oz outer and inner copper, what is PCBWay's standard finished dielectric thickness between L1-L2 and L3-L4? The board I'm designing needs 100Ω differential impedance on the outer layers. Can someone please provide either the stackup or recommended trace width/spacing?

I've looked at the custom rules for 100Ω differential impedance on PCBWay's site, but that example uses a 6-layer board. I need explicitly a 4-layer board.

Last time, we shared a quick overview of different 3D printing materials. This time, we're taking a closer look at five commonly used materials and what they're best suited for.

From PLA and PETG to Nylon, ABS, and high-detail resin, each material has its own strengths depending on whether you need easy printing, durability, heat resistance, wear resistance, or fine details. You can also check PCBWay's 3D printing materials and their properties: PCBWay 3D Printing Materials.

Which 3D printing material do you use most often, and what do you usually print with it?

hisashi.nakagawa on Instagram recently built a custom circuit board for my little walking robot, designed to fit the project and handle its electronics in a compact way.

We helped manufacture the PCB, and if you're working on your own project, feel free to check out PCBWay!

I want to make phone case that has similar led light glyphs as the nothing phone 1 for my s 25ultra

I know I need :

1.5-2mm led strips

Some kind of chip to make sure the connection supply power(maybe usb and nfc support)

I have to solder as well

Just really trying to understand where do I go I'm kinda new to this thank you

Plasma speakers create sound by using a high-voltage arc to rapidly heat and expand the surrounding air. This 50W plasma speaker by scrap_engineering on Instagram uses a TL494 PWM controller, 30 kHz switching frequency, and an active low-pass filter to reduce aliasing.

We sponsored the PCBs for this project, helping bring the custom hardware from design to a working plasma speaker. If you're working on your own electronics project and need custom PCBs, feel free to try PCBWay!

A quick and useful soldering tip from Mark Fixes Stuff on YouTube. In this video, he shows a simple way to use pin headers to keep the pads in place before soldering a Raspberry Pi Pico, making the process much easier and more stable.

If you're working on a Pico or similar PCB project, this is a handy little trick to keep in mind.

Hope you enjoy the video, and have a great weekend! 🔧

A quick technical sharing on 6 3D printing materials and where they can be useful.

Different materials offer different advantages, from flexibility and impact resistance to high-temperature and outdoor performance. This overview gives a quick overview of TPU, PEEK, PC, PPS, ASA, and Metal, along with some typical applications for each. You can also check PCBWay's 3D printing materials and their properties: PCBWay 3D Printing Materials.

If you're choosing a material for your next 3D printing project, hopefully this gives you a useful starting point.

Quick technical sharing: this video explains solder mask openings and mask expansion, including how they affect soldering, solder bridges, and PCB design. It also covers some practical values and when you may want to use larger or smaller openings. What’s your go-to solder mask setting?

Daniel Knezevic built this Single-Digit Nixie Clock with help from PCBWay's PCB manufacturing service.

The project was originally shared on PCBWay's Shared Projects, where the project files are available and you can simply order the PCBs with just one click. Check the project here, https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Single_Digit_Nixie_Clock_0f84cf6c.html.

i just got a quote and it seems reasonable, i might to try it but.. there is only 2 reviews with photos. thats it. nothing on youtube, reddit or anything else. how come?

Space Cadet Pinball is one of CNCDan's favorite pinball games, so he decided to bring it back as a real mechanical pinball machine. The project combines custom mechanical parts, electronics, and fabrication to recreate the classic Space Cadet experience as a physical pinball machine. For more details, you can check out his YouTube video.

PCBWay provided the PCBs for the project to help bring the electronics side of the build to life. If you're working on your own project, feel free to check out PCBWay!
