I'm not sure how, but change your Eagle drill list to suit the Olimex
drill list. Eagles drill list is different and Olimex will charge extra for
'non standard' sizes. Also make sure you have layer 20 (
dimentions ) enabled when you produce the files for olimex.
I attempted to produce a board using Eagle and Olimex. the basic
cost was FAR above base due to drill charges and other
'adjustments'.
The file format required is GERBER 274X
