Etching a PCB using Different Methods

 

Ben Heck attempts three different methods for making a prototype PCB. The methods are the toner transfer method, the laser etch method and the good old hand drawn method. I was surprised that Ben didn’t use his CNC machine as a fourth method. 

“He’s designed PCBs in Eagle and sent them off for production at a board house, but this doesn’t help when he wants a PCB the same day. In this episode, Ben experiments with three methods of PCB etching and shares the results.”
