cetoole Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 I dunno, how would you go about soldering to it, and what about through holes? The biggest issue with etching your own boards has been, IMO, the need to drill out a few hundred holes by hand. Quote
Pars Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 I dunno, how would you go about soldering to it, and what about through holes? The biggest issue with etching your own boards has been, IMO, the need to drill out a few hundred holes by hand. And the need on a practical level to have those holes plated thru, unless you take steps (vias, etc.) for double-sided boards. One would have to question the rework capabilities of this technology (as in none probably) as well. Also looks like this will only work on flexible media, so that would often be an issue as well. Would be great for quick prototypes, etc. within those constraints. Quote
penger Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Creating Printed Circuit Boards with a INKJET Printer Didn't know where else I could post this. Looks similar to what Kerry posted in the DIY builds thread a while back. Quote
