He had the opportunity to attend the Fab10 Symposium in Barcelona last July. When he started telling me about his experience there, I felt it was a must for a blog post.

Hey 651, Glad you enjoyed the video! Definitely not spam to mention other PCB fabrication options. It’s truly amazing how many great deals…
I appreciate the complement! Unfortunately, I’m not sure if/when I’m going to get to that part of the project. Hopefully I can point you in…
