Title: How do I view the renderd PCB images.
Post by: Mouse on March 24, 2016, 04:46:48 pm
Hi,
How do I view the rendered images of a PCB I have ordered? 
When I used the Dirtypcb service I was emailed the images so I could check I had not made a mistake but this has not happened with the Dangerous Prototypes service.

Regards

There are many free gerber viewers, or even online gerber viewers. Just do a search on "gerber viewer".

I prefer the online viewer on circuitpeople.com It is a simple straighforwarded viewer (per layer)

this one is a bit funkier: http://svgerber.cousins.io/#board-renders (http://svgerber.cousins.io/#board-renders) or even 3d: http://mayhewlabs.com/3dpcb (http://mayhewlabs.com/3dpcb)

Thanks folks, that did it.. svgerber.cousins did it for me. Less panic about what I've asked to be made. :)

Thanks everyone.

We were up and rendering like champs after the update last month, but then a PDF file snuck through for some reason and the system chocked. I fixed the issue and reset the rendering backend, but it did skip a number of boards from a week ago. They will eventually be re-rendered on the next update.
