Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] horiziontal / vertical etching

From: mpdickens <md30022@...>

My interest in a spray etcher was driven by two issues:

1.) The need to reduce under cutting. Reducing under cuts allows for thinner traces and less space between the traces.

2.) The ability to have consistant, reproducable results.

I am almost finished with my spray etcher. The hard part(s) are done and as soon as I've
got a few free nights, It will be complete. I've kept good notes that include a complete bill
of materials, a vendor list and instructions on how I did it. I've also been taking digital pictures throughout the entire build process. As soon as it is complete and working, I'm going to stick the whole thing up in the files section of this group. The total cost is less than $200.00 USD.

Best regards and Happy Holidays to all!

Thanks, very good idea.

I abandoned the idea of a spray etcher because of that, and because i don't
really need one.
i can wait a few minutes for the occassional pcb (and search together the
components in the meanwhile).
