There have at times been people on this group interesting in spray etching. If anyone is interested they can have a look at the spray etching machine I built....
I attended a seminar at a computer show hosted by a local college professor, titled "how to roll your own printed circuit boards". He was using the toner...
I also bought a Brother printer from Staples. HL-2040 for about $80. I use Staples 'photo basic gloss' item# 471861. I have been very successful with this...
I have the same printer & use the same paper (going to try the Hammermill office one business gloss as soon as I have time). You may have forgotten to say to...
I've been experimenting recently with the different papers that others have been reporting the pros/cons and wanted to 'chime' in with my vote: Hammermill...
Now the thing that worries me is the geletin becomming unglued during the print process. Not that I cant afford a whole other used laser printer for $10 at...
My 2-cents.... I emailed Hammermill and they sent me two sample packs so I got 50 sheets from them. I also ordered from officebella.com, paper was 6.74, and...
An upgrade has just been published for Diptrace, v1.40. There were many significant additions and improvements. For this group the two new goodies are the...
... I just could not get 'into eagle mode' and have used diptrace about a year now, I often use it for things other than PCB's, just used it to do a floor plan...
Longer behind than that! I started Homebrew_PCBs in late 2001, and the plotter pen thing was already old then. But to be fair, an article like that can find...
Has anyone tried this? Take a fine tipped black Sharpie, drill a small hole in the end and insert and seal a small flexible pipe. Connect this pipe to a...
I was using a plotter for direct draw to PCB for many years with limited success using a roland DXY-800 flat bed plotter, staedler ink and carbide tipped pens....
Well, by a sort of coincidence, I came across the Radio Shack wire-wrap tool. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103243&cp I even found a...
I posted on here about a super pen, the paint pen from uni(ball) px203 in white, resisted an hour of FECL etching after which I got bored..... I'm using it in...
... I always thought that WAS the standard wire wrap tool. It's the only one I have ever seen out here in OZ without going to motorized post-post wrap tools....
I will be (within a few weeks) testing out plotting / etching with Staedtler pens. I made up a pen holder for my CNC machine and am working out a few other...
Hi guys, Several of you folks have made spray etching tanks. What are you using for pumps? I plan to continue using Ferric Chloride and would appreciate any ...

Coincidentally, I have just finished repairing a peristaltic pump for a local company. The volume of liquid moved is not high so I wonder if that would really...
... Ross, Adam Seychell states a model number of a pump in his posts about a spray etcher. It was a diagphram pump from a company called sureflow. No metal...
Andrew, I was commenting on the suitability of peristaltic pumps (or more correctly the one I repaired) for the task. I am not in the market to make a spray...
Cool! Glad it's working for you too (and it's not just me). I had problems with TT in the past and this paper has got me doing TT boards right & left....
... The Surflow pumps actually use stainless self tappers, as I found out the hard way. I did not try to source titanium replacement screws. Although it would...
My 2 cents on the spray Etching Pump, just came across this: March AC-4C-MD Metal-Less Pump For Semi-Corrosive Magnetic Drive-Model (copy & paste the entire...
