Default Re: Cheap & Cheerful DIY UV PCB Exposure Unit

Hi David,

Oh, I agree! Press 'n Peel is just an option. You're right, though; it is drifting away from the intent of the thread - I only mention it because if just tearing out a magazine page and giving it a go brings up more questions and concerns then to prevent it becoming a chore/unenjoyable, it might be worth looking at.

But yes, if acetate and an exposure unit doesn't appeal, I would encourage people to try glossy magazine pages. Can't beat free unless that route isn't any fun.

Speaking of spraying ones own PCBs with UV lacquer - I really ought to revisit that, despite being happy with my current setup. I don't have waste with pre-prepared boards because I make specific items where two boards are made from one exactly and I use a wet tile cutter to cut the board in half, but it would be useful to cut several small boards from one large sheet...
