Making you're own pcb's

[jazz]

Hey all,

It being winter here and me wanting to make my own pcb's, i've finally decided to get a special tool for developing pcb's. The sunlight is just to faint.

So i made this. A uv light tool which enables me to expose my designs. for about 75 euro's i'm done and it works.

if all is right i'll recieve the pcb material today so maybe i'll write up a report of how i do it. Just thought it might give some ideas of how one could do this.

Inside are two blacklights (UVC) and two sun tan tubes (UV B/C). works nice for exposing photosensitive pcb's.

regards
Joris

a friend of mine made something similar - i think with 2 uv tubes used to disinfect water or something like that.

he stuck the tubes in an old computer scanner case, it does the job in about 5 mins!
