Workshop : Etch your own DIY PCB with household products

CPM Workshop

Brief Overview

Did you know that heat transfer technology can be used to create a custom PCB board? In addition, the chemicals required to etch the board can be done with household products bought at a regular shopping centre.

Description

Starting with a blank copper board, participants will first learn how to print the circuit trace onto it using heat transfer technology.

  • The circuit trace is first printed onto a special heat transfer media (CPM 6.2) using a regular colour laser printer.
  • The printed image is transfered onto the copper board using a heat press.
  • Prepare the household etching solution using Vineger, Hydrogen Peroxide and Salt and etch the board.
  • Drill the holes with a Dremel
  • Solder up the componants.
