Well, it seems _very_ complex from the pictures (and PTH explains some of
it).
Way more than i need for now, for sure.
What i meant with the weather was mainly temperature, you couldn't leave
something like that outdoors in the winter here, it would freeze. (not to
speak of how hard it would be to etch a PCB with snow on the unit).
I assume the climate where you live is different and allows that.
Very nice work though...
How is the uniformity of the spray-etch?
What's your etch time?
