Hi folks,
We could use some help with etching a printed circuit board at CCL next
Saturday. Anyone have experience doing this? Any special equipment
available in Sudo?
The goal is not actually to make a PCB, but rather to use the copper traces
of a PCB as a mold to cast silicone rubber on top, to make a microfluidic
circuit.
Thanks!

I can help. We have everything needed to do it in sudoroom.
can you send the pattern you want to etch and tell me the exact dimensions
you need for the copper lines? and we need to be able to print the
pattern, in mirror-image 100% scale, from a laser printer that we will
feed glossy paper.
and we'll need a clothes iron.

Thanks, Jake!
For now, I think we'll just make some simple test patterns. How thin a line
do you think we can do with a simple toner transfer? Also, what is the
typical thickness of the copper layer on a PCB?
