Can anybody recommend some makers of PCB's for the hobbyist? I am looking
for makers of mainly single sided, but some double sided boards, for home
hobby projects. Only need quantity 1 or 2. Low cost is most important
driver. Am aware of futrelec, but are there others?

I have used BatchPCB a couple of times for small runs/prototyping. Good
delivery, very cheap, no significant setup charges. Just upload your
Gerbers to their website, and you get an instant check and price. There
are some limitations, like no re-entrant holes or funny cutouts, but
otherwise single and double sided incl plate-thru is fine.

Also pcbcart.com which I and others have used and have been happy with.

I've been happy with <http://www.olimex.com> - they have a very cheap
prototyping service, and will panelise and depanelise (straight-snap)
including silkscreen, etc.

www.pcbzone.net seems slightly cheaper than pcbcart for one-offs
faster too.

Having beaten my head against the wall with the same question for many
years, I threw in the towel and started my own PCB batching service.
2-sided boards, both sides soldermask, both sides silkscreen, 100%
flyprobe-tested, and immersion-gold finished, at $1.50 per square inch
with no setup fee, no minimum. Yes, you can order just one board!
More detail on my website at
