= Capabilities =

Make sure that JLCPCB can manufacture the PCB you want, their [[https://jlcpcb.com/capabilities/Capabilities|capabilities page]] lists what they can and can't do. At the time I am writing this, they handle up to 6 layer boards. They can't do blind or buried vias (but then again, most generic PCB fab places can't, and I'm hard pressed to think of a design in our applications where such space optimization would be necessary).

= Account =

I have made a 40m account - contact me or Chub for the login creds. It is linked to the foteee@gmail.com account, but their web interface already allows correspondence with their engineers, who are pretty helpful.

= Common gotchas =

Most times, you would just download the "Fabrication Outputs" zip file from the DCC for the design you want to fabricate. A common problem I have encountered is that often, the board outline is not exported as a Gerber file. [[https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/329003/altium-designer-create-keepout-based-on-board-outline|This stackexchange]] details the fix - you have to do this in Altium. Then, you have to re-export the files, following the nice [[https://support.jlcpcb.com/article/42-how-to-export-altium-pcb-to-gerber-files|writeup]] on how to do this.
