Would you want to be able to order PCBs and/or PCB and component kit?

Currently I have no plans offering pre-built fanpico boards (hoping someone would be interested in manufacturing/selling those eventually).

But I'd like feedback if you'd be interested in ordering fanpico PCB and/or a DIY kit that consist the PCB and the components to build a fanpico-0804.

And what would be the preferred platform? Tindie? or something else?

Either would be great, have you had any other responses yet?

Just a few inquiries so far. I do have some extra (v1.3) PCBs, so I was thinking to offer a free PCB for first ten people to request one (shipping to US addresses only), as long as they promise to post photo of the finished unit, etc...

Nice, but sadly I'm in the UK. 🤣

same here, also UK :(

I checked that the PCB weights only about 1.5 oz, so should be able to just stick in an envelope and mail it 'as is'....
I can send couple as a test to UK, email me your address details.

That's very kind of you, but I think I may need a slightly altered board. I need to mount it in a 3d printed mount for a water-cooling radiator with 4 fans. I've left the space for the PCB inside, but the fan connectors have to be right-angled ones and not stick outside of the PCB perimeter.

And then there's the thought of a small display... 😄

As a test I ordered small batch of boards with SMD parts pre-assembled. After I have time to test that this works ok, I'll try to setup eBay listing to make these available for purchase:
