    • Ponoko – 3D printing and Laser cutting. Lots of different materials for laser cutting including; acrylic  leather, wood, card, bamboo, cork even a gold reflective sheet. 3D printing includes;  plastic, ceramic and even stainless steel !
    • OSH Park – A low cost, batch PCB fabrication site. You send them Gerber or Eagle files for your PCB designs, and they batch them up in to large panels to be fabricated, reducing the cost. The boards are low cost but very professional, the turn around time is pretty quick (2-3 weeks), and the boards are a lovely shade of purple !

    Hi Jon, I just found your blog after ordering 10 of your Wemos MOSFET boards and a Wemos D1 Mini with external antenna. I think the blog is very informative and interesting, I will have to find time to read more of it! I am a plumbing and heating engineer so I found your hot water control project interesting and, unlike a lot of similar projects on the net, done properly. I have also built extensive irrigation and propagation systems for our garden, that is what the MOSFET boards are for. I also use node-Red, MQTT and Home Assistant. I shall keep an eye for more of your products / posts.
