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: 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: 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?
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

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

Check out the Links I laboriously added for some on

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.

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

Re: Mechanical PCB etching
Hi Bob,
Yes, the DXF files are a good export file for such work. You may also
be able to use .PLT (plot files).
I don't know about new menus in Autocad, I intend to do board design in
Eagle.

Re: New file uploaded to Homebrew_PCBs
And if it's a demo what's the limitations?
is it crippled in any way?
I think we should know this before we waste our time to download and then
see that it's not of any use to us.
