Description

A logical extension to the Kicad workshop (electronics design) is to realize the designed PCB. There are 3 ways to produce PCBs at FIXME (with the required components):

  • PCB Milling with a CNC Router
  • PCB Etching using toner transfer method
  • PCB Etching using the photosensitive positive method

Goal

  • Make custom PCBs for FIXME members and projects.

Obstacles

PCB Milling with a CNC Router:

  • Cost
  • Make a lot of dust

PCB Etching using toner transfer method:

  • Use chemicals requiring precautions for use

PCB Etching using the photosensitive positive method:

  • Use chemicals requiring precautions for use
  • Need an insolation box
  • Number of step for the process


Components

  • Iron(III) chloride / Perchlorure de fer Corrosive!

Safety

Equipment:

  • Gloves
  • Goggles
  • Lab coat
