- | * Challenge: Get top and bottom layer to align | + | |
- | * Improved process draft: | + | |
- | - Prepare layout: | + | |
- | * Eventually panelize small PCBs for better yield, check [[http:// | + | |
- | * Put four markers arranged in a rectangle outside of actual PCB area | + | |
- | * Markers are a 1mm diameter circular dot with a small hole surrounded by a thin 3mm diameter circle on both top and bottom layer | + | |
- | * Here's an example: {{http:// | + | |
- | - Before printing, make sure that *no* layer has features reaching beyond the markers | + | |
- | * Otherwise, the markers will shift slightly when mirroring the layout during printing | + | |
- | * The tNames/ | + | |
- | * Fix: Smash the offending parts, delete the text | + | |
- | - Tape a piece of paper to the bottom of the tray, print the top layer to it | + | |
- | * We need the markers for later | + | |
- | - Cut the PCB into size | + | |
- | * Saves etching solution and time | + | |
- | * It might be a good idea to file away the burrs (DE: Grat), they' | + | |
- | - Clean and prime the PCB, put it into the tray so that it covers the print on paper, print the top layer, cure ink as usual | + | |
- | - Drill two 1.5-2mm holes through the exact center of two of the markers | + | |
- | * Copper | + | |
- | * Try to make this drill as precise as possible, your layer alignment will depend on it | + | |
- | * What worked for me: Prime the drill with a _precise_ punch mark (I used a large screw and a hammer), position the drill without power, then start drilling | + | |
- | - Remove the copper burr (DE: Grat) on the other side! | + | |
- | * Don't forget this, or the print head will scratch across the burr and smear ink! | + | |
- | * I used a larger drill that I simply turned by hand | + | |
- | - Clean & prime the still-empty PCB side | + | |
- | - Put the PCB on the tray and align it so that the marker dots are in the exact center of the holes you drilled | + | |
- | * Hence the circular shapes -- the human eye can see deviations from a circular shape pretty well | + | |
- | * If your holes came out slightly misplaced, use the two most precise holes for this and take into account their misalignment | + | |
- | - Fix the PCB in place | + | |
- | * The primer will prevent some tapes from sticking properly, maybe double sided tape to the rescue | + | |
- | * Or just tape the PCB in place before priming and prime later | + | |
- | - Print the bottom layer (mirrored!) and cross your fingers | + | |
- | * The outer circles of the markers can be compared against the drill holes to verify alignment | + | |
- | - If alignment is "good enough", | + |
