Hi all,
I've just seen the red-light sensitive film that Mega sells
It occurred to me that the film may be useful on its own, combined with an old flatbed plotter (I knew I shouldn't have sold it!) and a laser module. I suppose a CNC machine would work too (but if I could afford one I'd just cut the board itself).
The laser could be focused to a good point and turned on and off with the pen up/down signal.
The only catches I can see is that the whole operation needs to be carried out in a darkroom (Mega sell green safety lights for it). Also, the film is quite expensive just to trial it as you have to buy a pack of 50 sheets for £95.
Anyone tried this?
Rick.
