I only build my own boards to test a prototype for low cost. I know I'm going to upgrade the board, so it's not worth having it made until I work out the bugs. But I just "tin" my boards, but I'm aware of the risk of short circuits. I think this silkscreening method is PERFECT for prototypes! Thank you for this video!
For solder mask, a UV cure solder mask is simpler and faster. Screen print is for mass production. But if you need in quantity, just send out to the PCB factory.
I have to say ... this is VERY impressive! Sure it didn't turn out professional quality, but you still managed to etch a PCB using laser print quality and LIGHT as opposed to the toner transfer method which is just awful in my opinion. Very nice job and excellent video!
Your right. But pcb manufacturers that has all the top machines and can turn out hundreds an hour for such a small cost like $2 this is truly a waste of time
Thank you sir this is quite informative I'm 64 years of age a theoretical scientist and now I am on my next venture thank you so much this is quite informative.:-)
20 years ago, we were making PCBs at home, especially my friend was a pro. We were making PCBs at home and install in factories and other commercial projects. We certainly had some interesting challenges in using one side ( lots of jumpers :)). Also odd behaviours in our fast switchings circuits due to imperfections in our PCBs. In our old good days, there was not much choice than do it yourself or being ripped off ;)
Few tips: clean the PCB before use (after cut). Just soap is sufficient. If you want to faster the process, just use ~50°C watter for the acid. And sharpen pen is also good for repairs of broken traces.
The issue is your exposure/shadow mask isn't opaque enough. Print it twice and stack them. This will make it impervious to light. I'd also use acetate and not paper+oil. Oil will lift the mask off the surface and you'll get light creep around the edges of a shadow mask.
Thank you for putting up such an honest video out there. It is an expert show with all the usual shortcomings that usually happen in the workshop. Make it more real and valuable.
I guess the person who asked this question they just go off order direct from PCBWay instead after watching this video process.... lolz but i have to say that this guy is a legend to built a PCB manually with everything at home This is very educational for people who are really curious how PCB are made
Hello bro I was browsing through UA-cam and a saw your videos . I'm a ECE graduate know many things but experimented very less your way of doing new R&D impressed me and motivated me to start thinking like this apart from my job I'm very excited ❤️. Thanks bro
Bro u have great talent and craz to do the things ... Your way of understanding and doing the things are very professional 👌 Best of luck and keep going...
Very cleaver how you place the printout, do the UV, then wash outside and this then becomes your template for future masking - well done, I would never have thought of this. Now I know how to add different colour layers.
You know what a coincidence means I've been strolling through you channel now Started watching a video about the same time you made this video public Looked the videos of your channel it wasn't updated But got the notification And i became the 1st to view this video
It's definitely worth it in the long run IF you are using the toner transfer method and tinning traces. Cost per project is ~2$ for single and double layer boards, and you have it ready in
You made that look pretty easy! I can barely solder/de solder pcbs. I'm still learning about all the devices that are used. Capacitors, resistors, inductors, transformers, diodes, bridge rectifiers and don't even get me started on Ics! Which are basically super small circuits completely integrated onto a microchip. I've been reading up on transistors,thyristors,mosfet,jfet ECT. Electrical engineering is fascinating but at the same time extremely Humbling! I'm an electrician and it's still rather difficult to understand everything. Great video.
Hey brilliant vid, really great, learnt a lot, can't wait to build one. You were a bit harsh in the comparison. Look forward to seeing one you make reeeeallly carefully...
Don't waste your time. At this point, making aboard is more an exercise in just doing it, not anything practical. Get the Chinese to do your boards. They do a GREAT job and charge far less than your time is worth. Trust me, I've done up boards for DECADES and can't stand the idea of doing up another one. There are far better ways to spend your time than doing that.
you forgot to mention the shipping charges as usual just like any other youtuber. No one mentions the actual cost of getting the pcbs ,I suppose because they sponsor the video. Anyways was worth giving a shot type video, nice one.
@@Dragon-xd9em doesn't matter, you cannot list all as a creator unless you dig for all the info practically the norms change every now and then as per government intimations but here you are sharing your experience not the world's that is what is missing , not just in this video but almost all creators. Very few are left who share all data for complete transparency which is nowadays taken for granted while making videos. This results in more clutter on youtube as well as if practiced will reduce the same(clutter) and bring you content of a better quality. I do respect these creators but then feel sorry for others whose video production quality is nice but sponsored content is not handled well especially when you are looking for long term relationship with your viewers. Hope that solves all/any immediate queries about the context of my original comment. Objective was to compliment content while being honest about missing parts. But then who cares, 😂 in this whole youtube I am just another viewer writing stories in comments who nobody might pay attention to. Nevermind. Have a good day ahead! 👍
Do they both work? Its cool to see you make the pcb that way and kept trying until you got better results. I have been using a milling machine to mill out the traces on FR1 boards. Personally I think if you want to iterate on your design quicker, its a good to know how to make pcbs at home and so you can test out your design more conveniently. Of course there are tradeoffs between cost, complexity and time to consider
Good video. But I don't think your mesh count is fine enough. For those fine details required for a PCB, you'd want a mesh count closer to 300. Also, you can print the mask for the traces with the screen as well; no need for that photosensitive stuff.
Awesome, informative and entertaining video. :D Could you make a detailed video about the screen printing? I'm looking for something I can use for aluminium case marking.

a suggestion, you can use a 50/50 mix of Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide with a small amount of salt to etch boards. It stays clear, works just as good as Ferric Chloride, and makes it far easier to monitor the board during the etching process.
I built a radio on a flap from a cardboarb box, Its professional because I'm a professional. What is Not professional is having the Chinese do your project for you! Good Job.
