Serge Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 very nice. 1st? Yep, first home made PCB. Had them made at fab houses before, but I wanted to do this at home. After putting everything together I realized I reversed a header, so time to make another one. Hopefully this time I'll transfer the toner better for the ground plane.

Serge Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) what are you using? you check those links i posted? Emptying my storage next weekend... gotta get my station set up Off-the-shelf Radioshack two sided copperclad board and Radioshack branded Ferric Chloride. 1. Cut the board with a bandsaw using 18TPI blade 2. Scuffed it up 3. Designed in EAGLE 4. Used transparency paper from Fedex/Kinkos with a laser printer 5. Transfered with a clothes iron (took 6+ tries) 6. Soaked a small square of sponge in FeCl3 and carefully rubbed the PCB, taking off the exposed copper 7. A few minutes later, had the board etched 8. Scuffed off the toner 9. Used carbide tipped drill bits with a dremel to make holes (a drill press would be useful here, but a flex attachment and a steady hand do just as well) Edited May 29, 2011 by Serge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdimag Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 very interesting. never heard of doing it like that. this is basically the process I saw a lot of people using... maybe not with the fancy mg chem kits, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sdcucoWj4E also bought a paper guillotine for cutting... not sure how well that will work.

Serge Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) The method I used is pretty much identical to the typical toner-transfer method. The only thing I did different was use the sponge technique in lieu of soaking the board in a container (takes longer, wastes more acid). The paper guillotine might work well, since people use PCB cutters that do pretty much the same. I already had a bandsaw, so it made it very easy to cut what I needed. http://retromaster.wordpress.com/pcb-making/ This guy does a great job at making PCBs, including applying soldermask.

bdimag Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 mmmm ya... that's one thing I wanted to figure out - solder mask... i actually picked up some red stain glass paint... some people say that works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 mmmm ya... that's one thing I wanted to figure out - solder mask... i actually picked up some red stain glass paint... some people say that works well. Glass paint will do it. Vitrea 160 seems to be what people try using. I just went and made a new board, since I reversed a header in my first one. I used the same method, except this time I used a sharpie to fix any areas that peeled off. The great thing about the transparency film is that I can peel it off without soaking it in water. I was actually able to use the sponge technique and it didn't take off the sharpie. I want to try a solder mask this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
