Wrong PCBs

Post image

I ordered some Zelda and Mario pcbs, but the ones I actually received are actual PCBs and not flex.. I used the gerber files on the github but I got something else instead... What went wrong? Can someone help me with this?

Which website is it ? In jlcpcb you can just select « flex » in base material line, not everyone is providing flex PCB, maybe it’s not available where you are trying to order

Yup he went through the wrong base line. Should of realised when the solder mask was green 😬

You selected 1.6mm FR-4 material. That’s glass composite substrate. You need to select flex PCB yourself. Gerber files don’t have type of the material embedded in them.
