4 caps Mr Evil's Capacitance Multiplier Power Supply PCB

I mean the copper traces that join the main copper track to the power capacitor soldering eyelets
Done !
I did get a request to add snubbers on the diodes but I think you can solder them underneath the board .
Also a request to add a snubber at the primairy side , what do you think guys ?

Now the thermal reliefs are gone , not recommended. I would make the thermal reliefs large enough to carry the current . Without them soldering those big caps will be more difficult because we will need to heat up the whole plane/copper pour.

Question? Why not setup your rectifiers for dual full bridge; ie one full bridge per rectifier (or 8 Diodes total). that way if someone wants to do that they can, and then leave a faston at the ground for those with a CT secondary (who can just install half the diodes)

I'll draw that out in a mo... The above is a bit muddled as an explanation :)
