Layout-master for PCB

Hi guys, I was thinking to photoetch a board. I downloaded .BRD CORE module layout for Eagle to print the master. How to eliminate all the components from the layout, to show only the tracks? Will the printed result be the reverse image of the board? THX for help, post off tips too! I’m a newbie  ;D

ok I’ve solved the problems above… the only problems are  reversing the image and the sizes. is the layout in Thorsten site 1:1?

Hi!

you can go check at the portal (www.midibox.org) at the download section.

I’ve posted some .PDFs that are ready to print!

(yes, the .brd file is a 1:1 cad)

Just wondering if you are going to drill the holes with a hand drill or a bench drill?

Cause i also wanna do my own boards, but having issues with the drilling. Heard its a killer with hand drills as the bits are just to tiny and breaks easily..

Cheers

I used a dremel tool in the drill press attachment, wich is not the most accurate thing, but it was do able, and I’d do it again.

A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y  a bench drill! I can’t think out how to do precise holes with an handdrill. In addiction, with an hand drill you risk to break the tip of the drill, which is required to be very diametre-small

I read few sites, that they use the dremel to mod their com’s casing. Just wondering you have any experience with that?

Cause i just can’t find anyone locally to cut my panels also to drill my pcbs. So seems like the dremel might be a good alternative. Also can you use it to cut the PCBs down to size?

regards  :)

I have a problem: I purchased a Pre-sensibilized board. I made 3 copies of the master on glossy paper, put it above the board (which has a white paper on the copper side) and put a piece of glass on it. Then I turned on a 60W lamp about 15 centimetres far from the whole thing for 35 minutes. What happened? Nothing! the paper was not impressed by light! What is the error? I don’t think there is a protective sheet above the board, because as I try to take out the white paper I see the copper clad below. Help please  :'(

I think you suppose to print it on a transparency…

The glossy paper is for another method in which you tranfer the carbon to a normal copper board..
