Great video. I'll be using that in my lessons!
It's a lot harder ... ( 1 year ago by xorfive)
It's a lot harder with the thin traces of a real circuit. When drawing your board, try to use thick traces and lots of fill areas (ie grounding planes). Not only does it use less etchant, but also helps the toner transfer properly.
Also, you MUST rough up the board or the toner will not take to the copper. 200 grit sand paper or SOS pads work well. I use a power drill to help.
Tile several copies ... ( 1 year ago by xorfive)
Tile several copies of your artwork per sheet of glossy paper. If the transfer doesn't take the first time (and it often doesn't), you will have spares, plus you won't be wasting expensive inkjet photo-paper.
Most people use Ferric Chloride (available in most places). It's less dangerous to people than hydrochloric acid.
Acetone is very hazardous to humans, and passes through the skin. Always use gloves (not vinyl) when handling acetone.

Acetone==fingernail polish.
Where do you get Ferric Chloride? How much does it cost?
We're posting an instructable soon, these are definitely problems we need to address.

I'm not sure what sort of paper you used? Is it Glossy Lazer Paper, or Glossy Inkjet Paper? or something else?

What is the acid ... ( 1 year ago by ratgod)
What is the acid you used? you called it by 2 names in the video, I couldnt quite get the first one but the seconds time you said hydrochloric acid. and was that 2 parts acid to 1 part hydrogen peroxide? great project
That's muriatic ... ( 1 year ago by lehjr1)
That's muriatic acid also known as hydrochloric acid and its most often used for swimming pools. The ratio is 2 parts peroxide to 1 part muriatic acid. Also note that he did this outside. The fumes are toxic and you should really avoid breathing them in. You should also avoid getting any of the acid or the mixture on yourself.

you can just use ferric chloride

looks like that took a day to etch because it was daylight when you put it into the acid and took it out at night...... does it really take this long??

yeah they're called tin snips. i used to use them when i was roofing. they're somewhat like what you would use to trim small hedges, but they don't have a curve in them. they sell them at pretty much any hardware store if you haven't found them yet.
ferric chloride is ... ( 11 months ago by RudyChickenz)
ferric chloride is more expensive, non-reusable, you have to use more of it, and it produces a lot of copper salts that are bad for the environment when you pour em down the drain. this method is way better IMO.
I tried both ... ( 9 months ago by TheBypasser)
I tried both metal-cutting and just strong cardboard-cutting scissors - both worked perfectly.
hehe I use ferrum ... ( 9 months ago by TheBypasser)
hehe I use ferrum too - if the mixture is dense, you need like 20-30 minutes per average board, also it's reusable, non-toxic (so you can turn and grab your board with bare hands) and can be restored if overused by putting iron nails in it.

Do you print the ... ( 3 weeks ago by obrien135)
Do you print the pattern of the artwork out onto the glossy paper you got from magazines? I didn't see that part in the video. Does it have to be white or can there be colors or black printing on it before you print the toner onto the paper, if it's from magazines? It looked like you suggested using magazine pages. Can you use glossy photo paper instead?
If you want to etch ... ( 6 days ago by obrien135)
If you want to etch a two sided board, do you iron both sides, flipping it over after doing the first side, or does the heat transfer well enough through the board from one side?
