Hello there guys.
I was wondering to find a good PCB manufacturer who can literally CLONE a PCB board. I have talked with some PCB manufacturers in China (found on Alibaba.com) about this, and they say "You can send us the PCB board and we can manufacture it just like it is.

I was wondering what if they are able to make the PCB design even better so the PCB board will have more hashing rate? - What do you think if I sent a miner ex. One of Spondoolies's, and ask them to make it even better, like two miners in one? So with this idea I think it is possible to start a new company of whatsoever.

What do you think of this?
Thanks

Thanks for your opinion. But what if I make this project happen but only for personal use?

I have had some success making my own boards. It is surprisingly easy. I think I just ironed on a circuit using an inkjet print and clothing iron. The toner sticks and then you can acid etch off the other copper. Now drill some holes and your done. I have even made fancy designs in the circuit for fun.

I guess that would be OK.

I question the legitimacy of such a service that can replicate boards. They would need to reverse engineer t which is hard. Most pcb manufacturers need schematics to manufacture.
