If and when I ever start soldering my own electronic gizmos, I’m sure I’ll end up needing a circuit board or two. I’ve found Pad2Pad, which I run across every so often, that lets you do custom circuit boards. The prices don’t look too bad at all, although they certainly are more than mass-produced boards you can buy in the store.

But, hey, they’re custom.

If you need more than just circuit boards, eMachineShop (no relationship to the computer brand) lets you create things like gears, brackets, decorations, etc.

The downside of these sites is that you must have Windows and not Linux to use their software. Pretty cool stuff anyway, however.
