🔧 Materials and Tools Needed:

🎯 Focus of This Guide:

To help Filipino makers and engineers order custom-etched PCBs through trusted Shopee sellers without the need for international shipping.


📘 Step-by-Step Guide:

✅ Step 1: Design Your PCB

Use your preferred PCB design software. Make sure:

  • All traces are routed
  • No DRC (Design Rule Check) errors
  • Components and layers are correctly placed

✅ Step 2: Export Your Gerber File

After finalizing the PCB layout:

  • Export your Gerber files from the software
  • Compress all required files into a single .zip folder
    (Most Shopee sellers accept EasyEDA or JLCPCB-style Gerbers)

✅ Step 3: Search for Trusted PCB Fabricators on Shopee

On the Shopee app or website:

  • Use keywords like:
    🔍 “Custom PCB Fabrication”
    🔍 “PCB Printing Service”
    🔍 “PCB Etching Service”

Look for sellers with:

  • High ratings ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Positive reviews
  • Active status (recent replies)

  • Ask for:
    • Price per PCB (based on size and quantity)
    • Minimum order quantity (MOQ)
    • Lead time
    • Shipping method

💬 Most sellers will reply with:

  • Quotation
  • Instructions for file submission (usually via email or chat)


✅ Step 5: Send Your Gerber File to Email

  • Upload your .zip file as per seller’s instructions
  • Double-check their confirmation to ensure your files are complete and acceptable

Once confirmed:
