Re: Homebrew PCB mailing list invitation
I don't know, you should join and ask. ;') http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/ I've used whatever Radio Shack sells and found at best it is adequate, at worst a waste of money and

My first board
I had a go at making my first homebrew board last week, using a marker pen, some etchant and a needle. First I set out the design using software I borrowed called Easy PC. I printed the pin

Print on copper
There is a commercial product designed to make PCB's with plotters; it includes the copper. First you plot on the copper with the right ink, then you stick the copper to substrate, then you etch.

Direct PCB Plot.
Hi, I think everyone on the list should take a look on this link on the "direct PCB plot section". Seem pretty much doable, even more for the fortunate ones that have a CNC mill around. Regular

Re: Direct PCB Plot - would it be helpful?
If there is interest I will put up the HP G/L code on one of my web- pages. HP/Agilent provides a little support for these old, workhorse products, but not much. I also have a "fix" for converting

Re: Direct PCB Plot - would it be helpful?
I think I missed something- what HPGL code are you talking about? I have a couple of those old HP plotters, both serial. Thought that might be a good place to start for making an engraver, use the

Re: Direct PCB Plot - would it be helpful?
Hi Jack, Yes! I'd be interested. I still have my HP7475 from '85, although I use it only occasionally. Laser printers do such a good job on schematics now! What "code" do you have? I hate to see

Re: Print on copper
Hi Steve and list- You are right, on a flat-bed plotter you can print direct to PCB, and that is obviously much better than the system I mentioned in my post. But, if someone does not have a

Re: Print on copper
I did look at the links on direct plotting PCB's, and discovered that it is possible with some non-flatbed plotters to stick a PCB on a heavy piece of paper and plot right on the PCB. My previous

Re: Print on copper
you can also use the 'rolling paper' type plotters to plot directly onto the board ,I used to do this on my old HP ColorPro cut a piece of heavy paper (construction paper or Manila folder) to

Using HP GL/2 - direct printing etc.

Uh, you don't want to make this a competition. Only reason I wouldn't beat both of you is on a technicality, as mine isn't a darkroom. Caveteursus, thanks! I'm adding this to the Links section. BTW,

I use Dyna Art. The paper just floats off in mildly warm water after ironing. IIRC, this paper is coated with a a layer of sugar, so that might be the secret. Perhaps you could experiment by
