> Does OSHPark support (or are they planning to support) chamfering to make edge connectors?
Nope. Turns out our fabs kinda hate doing bevel edges. Because of how the fab processes steps, it also adds a bunch to the panel fab setup costs, so the whole panel cost goes up.
On that topic, though, it would be nice to be able to signal to the penalization code "no tab" spots.
@r miloh alexander asks: can you tell us what sw does OSH park use internally to panelize? How automated is the panelization process? Do you tabs (or mousebite) these batch panel orders or does the fab do this procedure?
It's also a super rare feauture. For production boards it's handy, but production card edges should also have hard gold (which we don't do_
@Kevin You're thinking of Castellated Edges (http://docs.oshpark.com/tips+tricks/castellation/)
It kinda sucks sometimes when there's a tab *right* under an edge mounted component.
@oshpark Important question, any plans on sending more jelly beans out with boards?
the most important question
@Nick Sayer sandpaper is your friend. Or a good file.
erp i meant to write "do you tab (or mousebite) the batch panel orders..."
Jelly beans? I never got any jelly beans.
@samy kamkar that was a treat during the winter holiday season... we'll be having more stickers though
@samy kamkar asks what we've all really been here to find out

Working on this! Processing outlines is somewhat automated: Specifically, our fab does it with a human and some really fancy software on their end that inserts tabs.
My current project is actually doing fully-automated outline detection, mill path routing, and tab placement. I have some prototypes working, but the runtime complexity for bad cases is awful. So, porting it to something faster.
@Ted Yapo Oh, sure, there's workarounds, but it's annoying.
wait, are we talking about pogs?
One of the things we plan when this is live is adding the ability to designate no tab zones on an upload.
no tab zones++
YAAAAY!
@Benchoff yes! we are working on new designs right now :)
> @oshpark Important question, any plans on sending more jelly beans out with boards?
Maybe! We like keeping it kinda seasonal and special.
> wait, are we talking about pogs?
Clearly.
@Dan Sheadel sounds peachy to have DNP tab zones...
With just a few minutes left I want to throw in this statement from @Nick Sayer so the people from OSH Park don't miss it: Not so much a question as a comment: OSHPark is 90% (10% goes to EAGLE) responsible for returning me to a hobby that I abandoned over 30 years ago when I was a teenager. Everything I've designed since then has been entirely because the barriers to getting professionally made PCBs at a reasonable timeframe and budget have gone away.
<3!
:)
aww
well said
Absolutely true. I was building Heathkits in the 80s, but I tried to make my own PCB at home once and it was a disaster. I gave up for 30+ years.
That is wonderful to here @Nick Sayer We love your projects!
(well well, look what just showed up in the mail....)
Thanks, guys! My work looks best in Purple and Gold.
And they do look stellar. :D

Special edition of Nick's crazy clock :)
Nice.
And with that let's give a HUGE thank you to @Dan Sheadel and Drew @oshpark for coming on this chat today to talk to us all about your perfect purple PCBS!
Indeed!
Also @oshpark thanks for adding affordable fast shipping to Canada!!
Thank you all!
Thank you guys
oh yes!
Oh yeah! We're stoked to have Fedex now.
we have FedEx now
Thanks @Dan Sheadel and @oshpark !
Yes. Thank you @Dan Sheadel and @oshpark !
I've never made my own PCBs. I didn't want to deal with all those chemicals. I would just use build using perfboards with or without copper on one side. Because of OSHPark I've got some of my newer projects build with real PCBs.
Thanks Dew & Dan

OSH Park Docs ~ Submitting Orders ~ Shipping Information and Turnaround Times
For items purchased at different times (and with different order numbers), we cannot guarantee combined shipping. However, our system will automatically try to combine them into the fastest selected parcel type, as long as they're shipped at the same time.
Thanks Dan & Drew!
Thank you so much both of you! Great chat!
@Kevin At the time, for me, it was the drill hits. I had a drill press, but I couldn't get anything like the correct spacing for DIP.
@morgan we love the new project you are working. we are junkie for PCB artwork
Yep, thank you! It's always great to find out what's happening in OSHpark world
thanks @Stephen and crew!
I don't like using any courier companies for cross-border shipping in to Canada. They often want too much money for customs clearance and brokerage fees.
Thanks everybody! As always, feel free to shoot us questions on Twitter, Facebook, or on Hackaday here. Drew's always lurking hunting for purple. :)
Thanks, oshpark!
And, of course, there was no way I was going to get a double-sided design to line up. And no through-plated vias... and on and on. Stuff we now take totally for granted.
@oshpark everyone at work is completely blown away, especially with few knowing what a PCB even is
OUr new Fedex International Priority is:
~$15 to North America
~$20 to Australia
~$20-$35 to Europe and Asia
~$25 to Latin America
~$40 to Africa
@Nick Sayer Drilling holes would have been another stumbling block for me. I didn't have access to a drill press.
And in general, we are always happy to answer questions via our support email: support@oshpark.com
I decided write-up be damned, here's the #Lampster which woudn't have been possible without a lot of back and forth with OSHPark
like In-N-Out Burger, we do have bit of a secret menu beyond had you see in the cart checkout options
thanks @morgan! https://hackaday.io/project/27788-lampster is a wonderful design
