DIY Multilayer BGA PCB ?
I want to make a PCB with BGA ICs (up to 0.5mm pitch) DIY. Is that even possible ?

Re: Exposing PCBs with a resin 3D printer
It will be interesting to see the achievable result.
I think there will be limitation on resolution since there is a layer
between the LCD and the PCB. For high resolution normally the

Re: Exposing PCBs with a resin 3D printer
I modified several laser printers to deposit toner directly on
copperclad. It worked well but was a bit cumbersome at times and I had to
drag out this big printer every time I wanted to use it. For

Re: Exposing PCBs with a resin 3D printer
UV lamps and a good artwork are essential if more than one PCB is needed for a mini production run.
It is a decade or two since I played with it, but there is a big difference between printer

Re: Exposing PCBs with a resin 3D printer
I don't see the point of that.
UV lamps are cheap adn so are printer transparencies.
My cheap inkjet can do 4800x2400DPI and good photoresist is cheap.
Compared to that, 3D printer is very crappy

Re: Exposing PCBs with a resin 3D printer
There are a number of similar YouTube videos of this. I'm currently
experimenting with doing the same thing, but in a different way. I bought
a 9.7 inch 2K lcd with an HDMI board that I can use as a

Exposing PCBs with a resin 3D printer
Anyone tried this? I feel foolish for not thinking of it.

Re: Drilling with a cnc
I drill all ,y boards that have 100+ holes on CNC.
All boards I design in KiCAD from where I generate drill files.
As I mainly do single sided boards, I mirror output drill file over Y axis, and, as

Re: Drilling with a cnc
Howard,
A few more details are needed. Only you know what you have, EAGLE and cnc is a bit sparse. How about a photo or two of the CNC machine, make and model, servo controller make & model, and

Re: Removing photoresist
Hi Vesselin,
I found it as surplus at a hamfest. Some of the electronics parts places down here in Australia sell boards coated with photoresist but I've never used any.

Hi Morris,
Where you order that clad from?

Re: Removing photoresist
My thanks to all those who responded. The suggestion of a soak in sodium hydroxide solution was the solution. At first I thought that didn't work because it didn't appear to dissolve the resist but

Re: Removing photoresist
The copper is high enough electrical conductivity and the water high enough thermal conductivity that hot spots are never a problem (have atleast 1mm or more depth on top of the pcb).

Re: Removing photoresist
In my process, developing uses sodium carbonate (washing soda) and
*developed* resist is removed with sodium hydroxide (lye). So if your
film is undeveloped, you might try the sodium carbonate

There's no plastic coating. Not much joy from cold sodium hydroxide either but I'll? try it hot tomorrow.

Re: Removing photoresist
It's likely to have a plastic film layer to protect it from air.
Lift a corner of it using the stickiness of some stick tape, to get it to peel.

If you try methylene chloride, just use it outdoors where it will work as well as it does inside, but you don't have to breathe it.

Re: Removing photoresist
Dear Morris,
You might try "whatever is used to remove an already developed
photoresist." (I don't know if that would be a dilute NaOH solution or not).
Sincerely,
