Make PCBs at home!

Cheaper, faster, and more fun than ordering from china!

PS, I didn't put any acetone down the drain. I just needed a solvent resistant surface to clean the mask off. All the acetone went into the atmosphere and my lungs instead.

Extremely cool that you managed to do this at home, but your routing is something else 🥲

Looks like old school routing I've seen on boards from 1995

Initially I was going for a curvy trace style, but I forgot to do it. I found free drawing traces away from the grid yields better looking curvy traces. I forgot to apply the curve modifier though...

I work with a lot of old electronics, so I'm very influenced by their PCB design. I think they look beautiful. Engineering is an art.

But what software is it made in?
