The boards are scored. I didn't explicitly order it that way, but they snap off very easily. At first glance I didn't see the grooves, so that was a positive surprise! I had already thought about using the mini mill to cut these out. Pure horror. I probably would have had to use a 0.5 or even 0.3mm tungsten carbide mill, and these break very easily.

MakePCB have taken their time - as usual. Excellent quality though and affordable. Luckily the panels are scored. Otherwise I'd have payed for quite expensive coasters.

Thermal pad included. It's a bit small, but it's there ;-)
