[sudo-discuss] etching circuitboards the easy way, at sudoroom

Last tuesday at sudoroom I used the Phaser 8560 printer to print circuit patterns onto pyralux material (kapton coated with copper) and then etched them in ferric chloride. http://imgur.com/gallery/TbzsP the result was that I was able to make circuits very quickly and easily, even though it was the first time i did it this way. if other people want to etch circuits at sudoroom, I can help. email me if you want to coordinate. The circuit i made was single-sided but you can do multiple layer circuitboards pretty easily, obviously, by putting these back-to-back. if you wanted to be even more advanced, you could use the laser cutter to burn holes in the pyralux (assuming that works) and solder through those holes from layer to layer. also did i mention this material is flexible like paper? we can make wearables, cylindrical circuits, watches... -jake
