There's been a lot of hubbub on the internet about making PCBs using these new PCB printers. They sound all cool. They're only thousands of dollars, they take less than an hour, have okay precision and seem to produce tolerably durable boards.

WHY?

Making PCBs isn't rocket science. People've been doing it for decades at home. Heck, my first PCBs were made using some mid-90's radioshack kit.

In fact, they can be made cheaper, more durably, and faster using traditional methods!

Materials:
(1) FR4 (or CEM) 0.060 1 Oz Copper Single Sided boards, available from ebay.
(2) DuPont Riston. Available from tech-place or ebay.
(3) UV Mercury Vapor Light, usually used in terrariums.
(4) ~42% Ferric Chloride, available from ebay and other shops.
