Beginners • Re: How to get off the breadboard?

I did a quick search for custom PCBs. It looks like $250 for 5 is about what I can expect, but WAY out of my budget.

I think you should search again. Jlcpcb or pcbway will make PCBs for you for very little money.

I second that suggestion. I use JLCPCB for my custom PCBs. They start at under $5 for 5 PCBs (plus postage). I usually use the cheapest (slow) postage option and order 5 of each of two designs at the same time. That usually comes to about $10ish.

Example of a simple board I made for a Pi ZeroAll hand soldered, some parts with soldering iron and some with hot air gun.
