PCB with a laser printer

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Here is my first attempt at making a PCB using photo paper an iron and a laser printer.

I am pretty pleased with the results, especially since this was the first try. I think I need to use more consistent pressure with the iron. It etched pretty cleanly with only a few rough traces.

There is a lot of drilling to be done, which makes me wish I had a CNC drill. That is a project for another day though…
