Press-n-Peel

3 hits, and 2 of them look to be the same item--all $40.

I'm not retired... probably at my busiest time ever. Filthy rich, but still resent blowing money on a one-off while I firm up a (G-job) design ;-)

I bought a Stika vinyl cutter for my wife's projects. Thought I'd try it as a PCB resist method, just for fun-sies ;-)

I love to cook with wine.      Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I like the new presensitezed boards from Evermuse.

I am using the Press-n-Peel blue for me to do my PCB, and I appreciate a lot, however I would like to know if there is something new in doing PCB. TIA Fernando

You might try one of the etchers here

for starters, Jim. I bought one a couple years ago and it still works very well. Yeah, I could have put it all together from pieces, but like you, I didn't have the time to spare at the time....

Cheers!!!

Is the board small enough to do here:

I use PnP Blue because I haven't found anything better.

There, at least part of my reply is on topic...

Now, what are you doing etching your own boards if time is so precious? I would think that a retired big-time Silicon Valley innovator such as yourself could afford to send your gerbers out to a fast-turn board house. Or are you requiring platinum clad saphire substrates now? 8-)

I just use a plastic food container inside a larger one half filled with hot water. Wearing rubber gloves I agitate the etchant continuously. It takes about five minutes with fresh FeCl3.

You misunderstand his kind. He wants to imagine it, firm up the design in his simulator, reach over, and have it present the board to him, complete, effortlessly, the way all of those frat boys order up stuff from Reality.

Hey, rich guy! Paypal me a couple thou gas money, and I'll come to liven up your party!
