More tips regarding PCBs are discussed here. The Shop also has an IBC BoardMaker machine, which mechanically mills around all the traces for a PCB board. To use this machine, we need Gerber photoplot files generated by most serious PCB layout programs. If you are interested in this option, talk to Tom Grady. Etched PC boards can be done in 1-2 days if you have a photo negative ready for us.
