I bought a new Proxxon TBM115. It will arrive tomorrow. :-) I have never made even one circuit board yet and now is the time to get going after wanting and trying to do this for many many years. Something else always got it the way. I spent half the day trying to get a pdf of my simple little circuit to print after replacing an empty toner cartridge in my HP LaserJet 1022. Seems Adobe has some issues printing certain pdf's with Win7. I uninstalled and reinstalled and did everything I could find online including using an older version but got nowhere. But I could upload my pdf to my server and then open it in Firefox and print it from there??? Weird. Anyhow I just got a longer usb cable and connected to my Win10 pc and it works from there. Got the muriatic acid and hydrogen peroxide etc so I am almost there. I figure that will be a good choice for the etchant at least for my first attempts as it can be saved and reused. I am going to try the no-iron version and see if I can get the design to transfer because if it really works, that would be a cool way to get it done. If not, I'll buy an iron or use my wife's. I also have a t-shirt press that would likely work but sucks a lot of juice to warm it up. I also ordered some carbide drill bits but they are coming from overseas. Any tips or advice?
