[^1]: Projects from a tutorial are 100% fine! We just want to ask so we can count how people are using tutorials. [^2]: OnBoard Live is a special version of OnBoard where you can earn more money for designing advanced boards. Check out the #onboard-live channel on our Slack!

Hey Anay, unfortunately we only offer $100 in total for Onboard, you made another PCB which was about $35 dollars, if you print this one, it would exceed your grant limit. Here are some things you can do to reduce the cost:
- Select PCBA for only two boards rather than all 5. You will still receive all 5, but only two will have components.
- Select the default green soldermask and leaded HASL finish
- Make sure as many parts as possible are "Basic" or "Preferred Extended" parts; these parts have the $3 assembly fee waived. Here is the list: https://jlcpcb.com/parts/basic_parts
- Use a coupon by JLCPCB for a minor price reduction
- Assemble the PCB yourself with a stencil
If the cost still ends up above $100, send a message in [#onboard-help](https://slack.com/archives/C0593MG26TT) and I can help you pay the remainder with your own card. That basically means that you'll pay what the grant doesn't cover. -Hussein
Hey! May I know that what amount Am I left with?

You have $67.79 left, the project you're trying to print is 80 dollars, you'll need about 13 dollars to cover it
Ok, thanks.

In my HCB card which I got for my hacker card im left with 3.87$ so if return them will they add to the amount im left with?
Hey! You could do Onboard Live (livestreaming yourself designing PCBs) to get an increased grant (1 hour = 5 USD) or you could use your own money in order to pay the remainder. You also said something about getting help from PowerPCB, let me know how that goes! I'll be keeping this PR open, if you have any questions, either send them here or DM them to me on slack. -Hussein
Awesome, thank you so much!

I'm surprised to hear this design is so expensive! When I made the original usb hubs for the tutorial it was something like $20 for 5 with 4-port hubs. Are you doing single-sided assembly with economic assembly?
No, I am not. I'm doin double-sided, and ye ait is expensive cause it is hard to get the components in india.

With the cheapest manufacturing and assembling, it should be around ~$37.15? Could you print it single-sided as well? I checked on PCBPower, and it would be much cheaper to make. Onboard requires you to try to print your PCB as cheaply as possible, so for the PCB fabrication, you have to choose the 10-working-days option.
To recap:
- Choose single sided
- Economic assembly
- 10-working-day PCB fabrication
It would be great if you could fix those and upload the new quote; Let me know if you have any questions! -Hussein
Ok, I will do that.

Would the 1466 INR be for the whole board and shipping? Also, you might want to fix this issue with the silkscreen as it might cause some issues with the fabrication:
Please check your slack
