Eurocircuits delivered some perfect panels for the snow flake board. Each panel has five snow flake boards on it.
This was an impressive good job from from Eurocircuits. There are a quite number of challenges to produce panels in this outstanding quality:
Most vias are tented, which is very nice. These are 0.25mm diameter holes, so it is at the upper limit where tenting works.
I am very happy with the result! The people at Eurociruits have clearly demonstrated their skills and commitment to quality.
Now it will be a real challenge to assemble the board without leaving any marks on the white surface. :-)
