Re: Proxxon TBM115 on it's way
I've found that while acetone removes the toner, it also tends to stain the board. I've used very fine (1000 to 2000 grit) wet/dry paper which works reasonably well. It also cleans the board for

Re: Proxxon TBM115 on it's way

Re: Proxxon TBM115 on it's way
Kevin, good info. I bought 100 sheets of the yellow paper a few months ago. :) Now on the green TRF would that be the same stuff sold on ebay for foil transfers that comes in many colors? And if so

Yellow paper is what I use taped over paper thru printer, traces are now on yellow paper. Lay it carefully over copper clad board, tape it down and send thru Apache roughly 8 times. Lay copper clad

Re: Proxxon TBM115 on it's way
Many people use toner transfer. The basic idea is to print on paper, then using heat transfer, get it to stick to the PC board. Toner is plastic with graphite (more or less, it needs to be black).

Re: Proxxon TBM115 on it's way
I have some yellow paper from ebay to try. Otherwise magazine paper I wanted to try too. And parchment and glossy etc... :) I never knew about the Green TRF though. Best place to buy?

Re: Proxxon TBM115 on it's way
Green TRF protects your traces from any and all etchant. It works real good with Apache AL13P as that is my way. It should work with other laminators but doesn't with household iron. Other? foil is

Funny you mention that. I had purchased a Harbor Freight laminator years ago but never got around to modding it. Now after some quick research I think I am going to buy an Apache AL13P and follow the

Re: who said use gEDA EAGLE KiCad Diptrace
I usually use DipTrace for my projects and it remains my favourite for small projects - I have never hit the 300 pin limit (yet!) I have been tempted to try EasyEDA (EasyEDA<https://easyeda.com/>)
