Hi All,
I'd like to build the attached, and I've screwed up the toner transfer process a couple of times, so it's off to a pcb fab for me. That said, I havent got sprint, so can anyone help me out converting the file?

Hi there.
It's quasi's nbip300 - https://sites.google.com/site/quasisdiyaudiosite/nbip-series/nbip300
There's quite the thread here on Diyaudio, and I pulled the .Lay file from there (slightly different layout, but essentially the same)
.Lay are sprint's format. The trial of sprint, doesn't allow any outputs, so I'm left with a PDF for Toner transfer or asking for help!

Is it a big layout ?
If not there are plenty of free pcbcad packages around that generate gerber files.

Sadly yep it is. About 255mm by 90mm or so (from memory!).
It's been a suprisingly frustrating process to bootstrap up to making PCBs at home. The printer I bought turned out to be the main issue - apparently the worst for toner transfer.

In fairness - The output stage could be point to point easily enough, and I could do a smaller PCB for the front end...
Hi Jan, I did try to get in touch, via email and here, to no joy. In fairness, quasi has made available the .Lay and a PDF of the tracks, so I do have all I need to do the job; I'm merely held back by my own basic lack of skill/tools.
Hi jazbo, I actually did do exactly that, with some press and peel paper and a USB stick, and eventually gave up trying to get it done there after a number of failed attempts. :/ I'm back at work as of today, so I'll try using the printer there, but quite frankly, I've now burnt more time on this pcb than makes any sort of sense.
Hence the 'send it to a fab' idea basically! It's turning out to be a lot of diy time spent justifying the pile of 2n3773's I have here. 🙂
