> …the PCBs fabricated in China … waiting for the delivery

Is it that bad already? Last time I’ve checked there were a lot of US options for 3d printing. No for PCB fabrication?

There are definitely companies in the US that would do a prototype PCB for you, but at a 5x premium over the large scale operations in China and not much faster (or as fast as you want in exchange for a blank check). For a hobby project that is often not worth it.

When I used to work at a modular synth company (and was also building/designing lots of DIY synths) we would usually use OshPark, which are domestic, but it was certainly cheaper and quicker to use a service like JLCPCB from china.
