How to make experimental circuit boards

Ғылым және технология

Here I show what I do to make my experimental circuit boards, the techniques, and the materials that can be used.
Experimental circuits should be made quickly and inexpensively. For good quality the way to go is to design the circuit with a software such as Eagle or KiCad and hand over to a manufacturer the process. However this requires time: you have to prepare the files, check them, send them to the manufacturing facility and place the order, and wait for the boards to be shipped. Not exactly a fast route when it comes in experimenting an idea that could even be wrong.
Making circuit boards themselves is a useful skill for this stage of experimentation.
So I show you some techniques that I use for this purpose.

    Lumocolor ink permanent 487 works perfectly , best is the red color one , but black color works OK , I have use black as that more easy to supply , ink is available in 10 gramm small can . Any Staedtler pen permanent works also fine . To help to make accurate traces I use a print schematic made in Autocad , hold with adhesive tape and mark each hole with a steel point made by grinding the shank of a rejected HSS drill .

    Personally, I'd go with the UV-resist + overhead transparency route.

    Yes it gives great results, I've tested it in the past. Of course it is a matter of personal preference eventually. Every technique has its pros and cons. I skipped to describe them all for short, limiting to tell what I use. I think they can be summarized as: - Laser printed (hot transfer): good quality but difficult to keep consistency - UV resist: excellent quality, a bit laborious - Direct drawing: poor quality, requires a bit of practice in drawing, but fast results - CNC router: excellent quality limited by the size of the router's bit, fast results - CNC laser: excellent quality, relatively fast results The CNC is obviously the best option, but one have to own a CNC router/laser :) Thanks for commenting. P.s. The video was an excuse to show the idea of using shellac to protect the circuit board.
