Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Using a pantograph for making pcb's

that'd certainly make it easier to do fine detail for those preposterously tiny smd pads...   

templates could routed in wood/plastic/cardboard with cnc equipment that doesn't have such fine detail, like a carveright, cricut, makerbot

I was wondering if anyone has tried using a pantograph for making a pcb. A larger scale image could be printed out on paper and traced using the pantograph to make a smaller size on the pcb. A fine tip magic marker could be used as a resist or maybe just printing directly using conductive ink. 

It is sort of a low tech way to do it, but it would provide another option.
