Re: Greenhorn to PCB making

Hello everyone,

I am rather new to making printed circuit boards. I have had about 7
unsuccessful tries. I used the method of printing a positive on a
transparent film, exposing the cladded board and with the film on it
to UV light and then developing and etching. While about three of the
boards were somewhat "manageable", they had broken traces on them.

I'd like to ask: what would we recommend as the "best" method for
making PCBs for private users (i.e. not on a commercial scale)...
Then, any advice for a starter is welcome.

Thanks.


The method described on the following site works very well:

Whatever method you choose, you will probably need to
do a few before you get really good at it. Maybe start
with real simple stuff, until you get the hang of it.
