1. Stackup information PCBs

   My Seeed Idea I wish 124 votes  ·  13 comments
   Information about the stackup for a four-layer PCB. I would be nice to have a stackup for every PCB thickness seeedstudio provides. This makes impedance based routing possible.

3. Fusion PCB pricing

   My Seeed Idea I suggest 29 votes  ·  4 comments
   PCB should be priced by the total sq cm used & not by fixed length & width measurements. This would stop crazy price jumps. Build a board that is 5.54cm & you have to move up to 10cm size board pricing. This crazy & shouldn't be happening. Please price your boards fairer for the total area of the boards used & not for the area not used.

4. stop overcharging for shipping Fusion PCBs

   My Seeed Idea I suggest

   Planned

    ·  23 votes  ·  2 comments
   Please charge customers for the correct shipping weight instead of the maximum for PCBs of any given size. Most companies do this. For an example, Arduino (shield)-sized boards are only one third the size of the 10cm x 10cm board category that must be used to buy them, but they are only ONE THIRD of the size and weight. We have to pay (express) shipping for TRIPLE the weight of the actual order and this can be substantially more expensive. Please use the actual board size to compute the proper weight. Many other lower-cost PCB prototyping services do this, and as the first/best one, Seeed ought to be able to do this too.
