I ordered from Sparkfun multiple times and everything worked out great. I wonder if they are slowly going to expand their reach to be a la protolabs for all the B2B PCB design/prototype deals. Protolabs did a quarter billion sales last year I think.

Clearing $1k from semi automated work sounds a lot less tedious than packing 500 bags with a $2 sensor. I always feel like they lose money on sub $10 orders.

SparkFun staff answered my questions about hardware thoroughly, probably a few lectures worth within 5-10 replies. That moment is always in my heart! I don’t do hardware much though, I was curious about making a ring. Litho.cc made something similar to what I wanted to create.
