Homebrew PCBs

I guess it's not the highest quality but it does work. Yes there are some wrinkles on my sheets too (but only on the edges) and I am not using the full size anyway. I just try to cut it so any wrinkles etc end up in a big copper fill and I can touch it up any holes with a Dalo pen afterwards. It's quite easy to touch up wider tracks as well.

For me it was more of an experiment to see how well UV LEDs worked, and if I had a good way to make the artwork\mask, which is why I chose  the cheapest.

As it turned out it's been pretty good so far, better than I expected so I'm happy with it, because I can make double-sided boards much easier now.

I can see though if you were expecting a perfect roll like something in their photo you would be less than impressed.

I used transperent media and doubled the images. I had four layers, two for each side of the board. The results were about 70 percent of what I was looking for, but I  was not expecting perfection either. I have some coming from Europe. I will update this later. The cost for me is just too high for the small amount of product.
