and now you've got places like jlcpcb.com that will do pick and place on many common SMT components for like pennies per unit (there's even a free tier for common resistors and capacitors)

I've long ago retired me FeCl acid and DIY copper boards; 3 day shipping from China is just too convenient.

yep! I actually just ordered boards from them. I probably would've ordered assembly from them if I hadn't wanted to do it myself for fun.

How does the pricing for "extended parts" work? It says $3 per component, but it would seem they mean per component type?

Thinking of doing an FPGA board with them because the concept of soldering an 0.8 mm pitch BGA with hand alignment and a modified toaster oven where a screw up ruins a $50 part is a bit much for me.
