[Homebrew_PCBs] DLP DS registration
2010-05-25 by Mark Lerman
I think I've got it about as good as it's going to get without a complete rebuild of the printer. While I haven't actually flipped a board and printed on both sides, I have printed the same image twice on the same side with "reasonable" results. For me, reasonable results is within a few mils. One thing to consider is if we could actually measure the registration before etching, we could retry it till we got it perfect (enough) for the purpose at hand. I think that can be done by making matching "registration points" on both image sides. Then print the first side, carefully drill the registration points, then print the second side. If it doesn't match well enough, wipe and reprint it. For prototype use, it should work well enough. Next job is to make a line down the center of the carrier and drill a small registration hole. It's getting there! Mark
