I’m building A2Fusion [1], a dual RP2350 expansion board for the Apple II to provide, storage, hdmi video and other functions in one card. The PoC is currently a big mess of wires. Waiting on JLCPCB for first prototype boards.

Assuming that you're in the US, what's been your experience with JLCPCB recently re:the tariff situation?

I'm getting ready to have a couple prototypes made soon and trying to decide between getting boards made at OSHPark and hand-stuffing/reflowing myself or having JLCPCB do all of it.

Timing seems to be about the same (but just in production now). But tariffs/taxes were 55% of merchandise cost. DHL is expensive too, $52 for 10 boards (shipping to Cali). I haven’t used OSHPark.
