Traces/copper missing from final PCB, present in Gerber file

Hello,

New to KiCad (and board design in general). I just got my first PCB back from a manufacturer and it was missing all of the traces and some of the pads from my design were either missing copper entirely or bridged together. I contacted their support and they sent back images of their CAM software which seem to match the boards I recived. I’m using KiCad 5 and followed the board house (PCBway) recommended export settings, and frankly I’m stumped as to what could be causing this. I checked my gerber files in the built in Gerber viewer and on a few different online viewers to double check, and they all seem to display the correct pad geometry and show the traces. Even PCBway’s own viewer displayed the files correctly.

Is there some setting I seem to be missing, or is it a problem on the manufacturer’s side?

Thanks

it is difficult to see exactly where did it went wrong, if you are willing to share the project (or the gerber files) it will be much easier to take a look.

Also, copy your full kicad info and paste here (Help->About->Copy Version Info)

Hi der.ule, thanks for your quick response.

I couldn’t upload files before as a new member, looks like I can now. Attaching my gerbers and project files below.

Well I though maybe you have too thin traces or something similar but all looks fine on the board file, no DRC error or anything, I loaded your files on gerbview an I could see the board fine however when loading your files I got many errors reported:

Could not read "D:\Data\Desktop\Neuer Ordner\souvenir_shop_manneken_pis_001-job.gbrjob" (loaded 9)

Looking at your plot settings, you have selected “Use extended X2 format”, there are many factories that cannot understand this format (many of them use very old CAM software incompatible with those extensions), however, they normally should tell you that the could not open the files or that there was a problem with them.

I normally use this plot setting and it has worked with PCBWay, JLCPcb, OSHPark, etc.

I hope this helps.

@chenderson Did you follow the screenshots on https://www.pcbway.com/blog/help_center/Generate_Gerber_file_from_Kicad_5_1_6.html ?

You might be able to get them to comp you at least part of your first order cost if you can show by screenshot that their gerber previewer didn’t indicate any issues. Granted their push-back might be that you ignored their instructions in red all-caps not to select the X2 extended format.

(Though, I find it interesting that for the drill file instructions they highlight setting the drill map format to postscript, yet never request the drill map file…)

This is interesting. I’ve sent many designs to jlcpcb and never had issues. I see now all of them had the Use extended X2 format box ticked.

For future just to be safe I will untick this.

Their previewer is based on this open source one: https://tracespace.io/view/ which is more capable than their CAM software. In general for Chinese fabs I assume no X2 handling.

Some of these low cost Chinese suppliers are actually agents for a small army of fabs. The capabilities of these fabs vary.

I should also add that today is Chap Goh Mei, the 15th night of the Chines New Year. This means that there will have been nobody competent in the factory the last few weeks.

NEVER buy anything from China at CNY.

Thanks all for the help! I thought I followed the directions from their website but I could have missed that checkbox. I’m re-exporting the gerbers on my end to see if they show up correctly in their CAM software, I’ll report back with my findings.

@gmc I sent off a panicked second round to JLC with the same initial gerbers as I have a deadline to hit and figured a second manufacturer may not have the same issues. I’ll see if I run into it there.

@davidsrsb definitely aware of CNY, I’m surprised the boards even showed up when they did considering PCBway said their ENIG processing would be delayed.

Well it is faster if they don’t put copper on them :crazy_face:

Ha, I recall you’re in SG leh. Chap Goh Mei is the Hokkien term. In Mandarin it’s called Yuan XIao.

I am in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My wife was from Penang and spoke some Hokkien.
This year the Chinese government was trying to get people not to travel home for CNY due to COVID, so companies may have been less shutdown than usual

Looks like unchecking the X2 format box fixed the issue. Lesson learned!

Good news is that I got my order from JLCPCB today (using the same initial file) and everything showed up correctly!
