Homebrew PCBs

Robert,

I think I see an advantage to what you are describing though.  You 
are planning on making circuit boards in quanities greater than one 
or two, not just one-offs.

If that is the case, then making special carriers (I think you are 
calling them Chariots), would make good sense.  You could 
standardize the carrier board to one specific size.  This would make 
for very consistant locating in the printer.  

If you make that carrier plate with removable pins, you could build 
it so that you could use one carrier plate and by re-arranging the 
pins, have it adapt to all your PCBs.  You could also very easily 
design it with a center mark and a straight edge as a stop for the 
method Stefan is referring to and have the best of both systems all 
in one Chariot.
