I've only used high-end layout packages, so I can't help with Flux.ai
(never even heard of it before now).
As for PCB FABs, I have two that I can recommend:
Domestic (US): Advanced Circuits (4pcb.com) has generally had a couple of
"specials" that are good for low-runs. Their $33 special gives you 4
boards (2 layer) for $33 each. A $66 special gives 4 boards (4 layers) for
$66 each. Shipping not included, some restrictions apply, assuming they
still offer these specials (I haven't availed myself of them for a few
years now).
Asia: jlcpcb.com has fast response and prices that are hard to beat. You
can generally expect to get 5 pieces of a 2-layer board delivered to you in
under 2 weeks (usually closer to 1wk) for less than $50 (most of which is
express DHL shipping). 4-layer designs are not much more and deliver about
as fast. They also offer a choice of thicknesses which many quick-turn
shops shy away from. Overall, the quality is as good as I could hope for
even dismissing the low cost.
All costs and delivery times are assuming a Continental US destination. If
you are outside the US, your situation will vary.
Cheers,
Joe

Most of my OpenSCAD 3D designs these days are for tiny IoT (Internet of
Things) projects. I've grown tired of my messy wire-and-solder prototyping
and I would like to step up to using one of the reasonably priced PCB
companies.
-
Has anyone here tried Flux.ai for PCB design? Is it any good? Any
other suggestions?
-
Does anyone here have a favorite low-volume (1-5) PCB manufacturer?
Thanks!
