We come here to share how we home brew PCBs. If we want to professionally source PCBs we can choose who to support with our dollars. I don't know about you guys but I only home brew PCBs for hobby

I used to this when I had more time than money, the only way to get really clean gerber files was to trace every line by hand with new tracks and pads. A layout software that can import pictures was
