Near Home is bit of a new idea. What does “near home” mean?
There are getting to be more and more hacker spaces ( and
similar spaces ) which give makers access to more advanced and
expensive equipment than most can afford at home. This
instructable assumes such a hacker space is near by. And
therefore considers more expensive equipment may be present than
in the usual home lab. One such space is now investigating a
number of these methods and is hoping to recruit local expertize
in developing optimal techniques. For more information on this
see the website of AS220 Labs (
http://as220.org/labs/pages/Making%20Printed%20Circuit%20Boards
). If you are near Providence RI consider participating in the
project. Results will be posted back here. We hope other hacker
spaces also become centers for board fab. This instructable will
give an overview of most of the popular methods, describe how
the steps come together and provide links ( mostly to other
instructables, but some offsite ) to material on making boards.
