Tin Plating
2
I don't know if you want this around if you have kids, but MG Chemicals makes "Liquid Tin" -- which plates in 5 minutes. The contents are nasty -- fluoroboric acid and stannous fluoroborate. Allied Electronics sells it, but not that they will ship all chemicals separately and you pay a UPS surcharge for Hazmat. It's expensive at $27 for 17 ounces.

Milling Circuit Boards

Hi, You can mill circuit boards using a homemade machine and a Dremel type tool. I use a Dremel set on number 3. My feed rate is 6" per minute. I have a picture at: http://www.geocities.com/crankorgan/mill.htm Of a board milled by my machine. Any Questions, I will answer here in this conference. John

Here's what you need to do: Go to My Groups http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups and verify your password if it asks you to, click on Account Info (at the top of the page), and verify your password if it asks you to again, and your Yahoo ID card comes up. Click on 'Edit your Marketing Preferences' (middle of the page under your email address) and change all those Yes's to No's!

Printing PCB boards/inks/ink tech
There was a company in West Hartford CT which was pioneering a piezo ink-jet head with extremely fine "resolution" -- Accent Color Sciences (now bankrupt). There were a couple patents filed by them in 1999 and 2000 which describe the remarkable resolution of the print head. Look under assignee name (AN/Accent) field in the advanced search engine at the www.uspto.gov While there was a lot of interest from some of the cell phone manufactures, (if you wanted, you could change circuitry on the fly) the economy took its toll.

I went to a lot of trouble to organize it. There are links there for all kinds of methods, and as far as etch resist pens there are pens -much- better than those lame laundry marking pens that are sold as etch resist pens.

Just a thought!
Hi. What if, you took a surplus plotter. Put a sensitized board on the plotter in a dark room. Replaced the pen with a focused light source that turned on and off with the pen-up and pen-down signal. I used to do Radio FAX pictures like this until I found that metalized paper that burned when a current went through it. John

Printing PCB boards
13
I am new to this group and I have been tinkering around with making hobby PC boards for a couple of years now (I am no pro nor do I claim to be). I have tried several iron-on toner transfer systems and don't like them much. The best system (using this method) that I have found is using the press-n-peel blue sheets and using a Dry-Mount Press (Older photographic item used to mount old style non-coated paper to matte board). This method is the best I have tried so far.... However, I am considering attempting to use a sort of silk screen method to create PCB etch resists, but I am wondering if anyone knows of a cost effective ink or paint that can be used as etch resist. I believe some sort of fabric ink may hold up using this method. Does anyone know what material should be used for that green soldermask like what is found on commercial PCBs? I am looking to make my projects a little more professional looking. I appreciate any constructive criticism or help on this topic. Thanks
