More power to you on the better tutorials. I been wanting to switch to KiCad to get free 4 layer design, but I expect it will be quite a learning curve. So...
... That's why i thought trying the tin sulfate from inexpensive pure tin bars (6eur per 250gram bar on the local hardware store). Electrolise them in a...

Hi Royce, while I'm new at all this and no expert. Why can't you make four layer boards by the following? Make a netlist with the traces that you want...
... [posting this again now that I'm a member of the group. Hopefully y'all won't get it twice...] I found Markus' site a while ago, and had some difficulty...
Hi Cary, It's because I am an autorouter junkie. I only have so much hobby-time and I believe that using the autorouter saves me a good deal of time. So what...
I don't think laziness or lack of time is a good reason to use an autorouter or 4 layer boards. You'll spend much more time troubleshooting and stuff if you...
... gEDA's PCB does that. We're working on our third autorouter, but the current core one (#2) is pretty good. Not sure what the best way to eval an...
"send ugly mess to production"... I don't send anything to production. Virtually every board I make is a one-off, is home etched and is part of a competition...
Hi.. I'm searching for a good, surplus, supplier of single and double sided PCB stock. 0.032" & 0.064". I used to have the web address of a cheap supplier...
There's a guy on EBay I buy tons of these board from. He cuts them to any size you want. Its a good deal. Just ook for the guy who cuts to size, thats him....
I bought several boards from amt33461 on eBay. I was extremely pleased with the price, flexibility, communication, etc. No relation -- just a satisfied...
FWIW, I started using Kicad as a complete novice, and have not found the learning curve to be too hard. There are one or two things that work in non-obvious...
... Any particular reason you want it without water molecules ? You have to add water for it to etch anyway. People prefer to buy and sell a near saturated 40%...
You make 4 layer boards at home? When I make the boards myself I spend even more time on a good layout. After all I am the guy who doesn't have to spend time...
Apart from ebay (where I also bought my supply) you can try board houses. Often they have cutoffs which they can not use in their production. What is cutoffs...
Imagine an architect came up to your wall-building craftsman, observed his plumb lines and precise right angles and proceeded to tell the craftsman that there...
The craftsman is merely advising the architect that the straight walls and right angles would make it much cheaper to build and easier for every following...
Although I have not yet attempted it, my expectation is that it will work the same way bonding a 2 layer board out two singled PCBs works. Tape them together...
... Double sided tape. I adhere the tape to the out layers, drill the "blind" vias (oversized), stick everything together, then drill the through-vias. The...
... I (used to) think it's easier to store the anhydride. I started off that way a long time ago and like the exothermic reaction when it dissolves - helps to...
I like the idea, but I see a lot of problems at the design stage, in making sure that there is a hole in the outer PCBs to allow soldering, in fact, I think...
