Me making a printed circuit board: There’s room for improvement …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓
Note that this is not a tutorial. It’s just a video showing my current process of making single layer PCBs. If it entertains you - good. If you learn something - even better. If you have suggestions for improvements - the best possible outcome (for me)!
Anyway, the video covers everything from the finished PCB design to a PCB ready for soldering. In real time it took me a little less than two hours (including a minor hiccup). For your convenience I’ve condensed it down to 42 minutes.
►Intro
00:00 Intro - how to get from raw PCB material and a design to a PCB ready for soldering
►Exposure Mask
00:31 Printing - two copies on a laser printer (non-mirrored, toner will touch PCB)
01:00 Spraying - the copies with density spray to improve - well - density
01:24 Cutting - the two copies to size, one a little smaller than the other
02:12 Aligning - the two copies on top of each other
►PCB Raw Material
03:31 Cutting - on the table saw with a diamond coated blade
►Expose & Develop
06:09 Aligning - exposure mask and PCB material
07:38 Exposing - the PCB material in my UV exposure unit
09:00 Mixing - the developer solution from sodium hydroxide (caustic soda, lye)
11:15 Developing (i) - failed, photoresist didn’t come off as planned
16:15 Developing (ii) - succeed, well it was good enough
►Etch
21:18 Mixing - the etching solution from sodium persulfate
23:01 Etching - the exposed and developed PCB material
►Expose & Develop Again
27:59 Exposing & developing - a second time to get the photo resist off
►Intermediate Result
30:55 Inspecting - the etched PCB
32:02 Reviewing - the PCB from the failed exposure & development
►Drill & Mill
33:16 Plan - for drilling and routing the PCB
33:56 0.8mm holes - drilled with diamond coated drill bit
34:38 1.0mm holes - drilled with diamond coated drill bit
34:53 1.2mm holes - drilled with diamond coated drill bit
35:01 1.5mm holes -drilled with diamond coated drill bit
35:26 1.2mm slots - drilled and milled with diamond coated drill bit
37:03 1.0mm slots - drilled and milled with diamond coated drill bit
37:39 Freehand 1.2 mm slot -because I forgot it in the PCB design
38:38 3.0mm holes - drilled with regular HSS drill bit
38:51 Unmarked 2.5mm holes - drilled using a paper template
►Coat
40:27 Spraying - the PCB with some flux/protection coating
►Wrap-Up
41:24 Inspecting - the finished PCB
42:00 Wrap-up - from design to PCB in under 2 hours

That's a classy process you have there Robert! I used to use Kinsten pre-sensitized board (the green colored photoresist made it easy to see progress), cut to size with a drop saw, and printed inkjet transparencies wedged between two CD covers held with pegs, exposed with an ordinary fluorescent desk lamp, developed with dilute sodium hydroxide, etched with ferric chloride warmed up in a microwave oven. I usually left the photoresist in place to prevent tarnishing but it could be wiped off with IPA. Thankfully it was a very forgiving process and timing/temperature was not critical.

Thanks! For some reason Kinsten PCB material is not available here in Germany (saw it on amazon.com though). Would have loved to try it (after the trouble with the Bungard stuff). I etched my very first PCBs back in the day using ferric chloride. Meanwhile I really prefer sodium persulfate. OK, you got to control the temperature while etching, but it's so nice (fun) to have a clear etching solution and be able to continuously see what's happening ;-)

Thank you very much for your interesting video, it is similar to my system. As someone do, i also tryed in the past spraying fotoresist, but without post-heating ... Spraying must be operated in a dust-free room, and so you have to breath dangerous vapours; and you can't do it outside, because there is too much light ( and wind with dust ). Also you have to do this job often, so to become more and more clever ... You have to begin spraying outside the board, than cross the board itself and stop outside. At the beginning and at the ending the spray-can sprinkles drops of any sort ... Now i'm using pre-sensitive board, but i'll change to foto-sensitive film, i think it will be better. As etching solution i use chloridric acid ( 10 % , used for cleaning toilets ) added with a bit of solution of hydrogen peroxide ( 3% = 10 vol. as used in hospital and also at home for disinfection of little wounds... ). The solution can't be stoked ( produces gas ) and also vapours of chlroridric acid which are dangerous and corrosive, so this solution is to be used outside, in a well ventilated area, and discarded at the end of the work. When etching it doesn't produce extra gas ( no bubbles ), also it's colorless, just becomes a bit green during copper etching. I suggest - for every board - to change develop solution with fresh one. It's cost almost nothing, i use to prepare one liter of distilled water with 10 grams of NaOH ( caustic soda or sodium hydroxide ) and stock it for next boards. I DO NOT SUGGEST TO ANYBODY to make higher concentrations to diluite at need ... TOO MUCH DANGEROUS ! Use always safety goggles and don't let bits of NaOH around ... too much corrosive ! Just i have to congratulate with you about your safety instructions when using chemicals : safety is a must ! About printing master, i also used in the past - to get a darker "black" to stop ultraviolet light - to go on a photographyc process, using photographyc transparent film, to get a negative and then a positive master with a very dark black, using 1:1 contact print and relative chemicals. I also see in the video you are using a Proxxon table saw, i have the little one, with 20 teeth blade; next i'll try the diamond blade ...

@robertssmorgasbord Жыл бұрын
DIN EN IEC 60664-1:2022-07, respectively, VDE 0110-1:2022-07 requires a separation (without) slots of 6mm (worst case scenario) for 250VAC. If you use specific PCB materials AND put an isolating coating on top of everything you can go down to 1.5mm. Since I'm a bit paranoid about our 240VAC here in Germany, have no datasheet for my PCB material and don't use an isolating coating I opted to adhere to the 6mm and where that was impossible I added isolation slots.

I never tried spray-on photoresist (or dry film photoresist for that matter). I'm getting my Bungard photoresist PCB material for 1.94 € (single sided epoxy FR2, 100 mm X 160 mm). Without the photoresist it costs the same. So I never felt motivated to put on the photoresist myself. But reading your comment I guess I have to try it one day. Anyway, before that I'll have to master the solder mask process ;-) And yes, the prints out of my Lexmark 410de are not very dark. That's the reason I'm using two on top of each other (which is not optimal). I'm always thinking about getting an ink-jet printer for that purpose ;-) And no, nowadays you can't beat the Chinese PCB manufactures price wise - as long as you're willing to choose the slowest shipping option ;-) And you certainly can't beat a professional PCB manufacturer quality and feature wise.

Thanks! Ah yes, the issue with the photoresist ... I do have a theory: I didn't bought that stuff from a big name distributor (like Digi-Key) but some "discount" outfit (Reichelt, Voelkner or Conrad - I don't remember which one). I can't imagine Bungard messing up that bad. But I can totally imagine the boxes with the PCB material sitting after delivery outside on some warehouse ramp for an extended period of time - with temperatures either well below freezing or well above 25°C (like 35°C). Both will probably mess up the material. Bungard writes something like "store cool, dry and in the dark" on their website (I have mine in the fridge at about 7°C). Ferric chloride or sodium persulfate - it doesn't really matter, as long as it eats away copper ;-) Regards, Robert

The free OH- is less concentrated in a carbonate solution and prevents stripping it clean instantly. Dry film can be stripped with drain cleaner crystals in water as that is NaOH.

To be honest, before I go down that route I'll probably send my layout to one of those cheap Chinese PCB manufacturers. The main reason I'm not doing that currently is turn around time. One or two hours after I finished my layout I have my PCB if I do it all inhouse.

Great video. Reasons that your first try didn't went well, can be that light you were using to expose it was not good enough, or the solution ate it too much, or the brush took off some of the photoresist while in NaOH, I skip touching it at all, when I see that clouds formed over the part I want developed, just move the container a bit, and move it to water, you can then literally wash it under a stream of water, and clean it with hands, when not in NaOH, it's very hard to scratch the photopositive foil, in NaOH, it's being a bit diluted, and under cold water it's hardly attached to the copper layer. When you were going through it with brush, it was already developed enough to etch with HCl + H2O2

12g surly is for a whole liter. I mixed up only 1/2 liter of development solution, hence I used only 6g.

Have you made a PCB Etching Agitator? Surely you must have made one by now?

Do you mean the laser transparencies or the photosensitive PCB material? The laser transparencies are just cheap, run of the mill transparencies for laser printers (search Amazon or eBay for "laser transparency film"). The PCB material I usually order from reichelt.de: www.reichelt.com/de/en/single-coated-pcbs-c7781.html?&search=bungard&nbc=1

да зачерни тонер ацетоном и не парся, он у тебя там не должен быть запрещен, резать текстолит нужно ножницами по металлу, заготовку делать чуть больше чем нужно, обрезать после травления

Kann es nur bestätigen, die Qualität von Bungard sehr … variabel. Inkonstante Beschichtung und Empfindlichkeit, kann 25 sek brauchen kann aber auch 120 sek brauchen… Es geht auch mit halbtransparentes Papier. Es ist wesentlich günstiger als die Folie, zB Zweckform. Das mit dem Pinsel würde ich lassen, es kratzt die Beschichtung.

Kennst Du zufällig einen besseren Hersteller als Bungard? Ich kenne noch Proma und Rademacher.

Well, I tend to show in my videos every step and explain every detail, so they usually turn out to be quite long. I do understand that this format is not for everyone. I'm sure you'll find a lot of "How to make a PCB" videos on KZfaq 15 minutes or less that are more to your linking.
