Advanced DIY PCB with a modified 3D Printer

5 років тому

Here I show engraving, drilling and milling a double sided copper clad board to make a PCB with a Dremel style rotary tool attached to my HyperCube 3D Printer.

Stopped watching half way thru the vid. Way to cumbersome to do to be practical. Modifying gerber code, absolute level and perfect alignment, etc.

Your video is sponsored by a PCB manufacturer, but you show how to make PCBs at home?

I have been making PCBs like this since 2013, using a cheap CNC router. It took me over 3 months to work out the optimum machine settings, software settings, and tool sizes, during which time I nearly gave up. But I can now make really dense microprocessor boards reliably. I use 0.5mm bits for the vias and 0.8mm for the components. If any components won't fit (usually connectors) I enlarge the holes by hand with a 1mm drill. This is much quicker than changing the bit and setting up again to make another pass. It took me ages to realise that to stop a V-bit from breaking you need to increase the depth of cut, not reduce it. I use 3mm dowel pins to register the board. Screws don't make accurate register pins.

That 0.3mm drill sure scared me. I thought it was going to snap every time it started wobbling. Definitely spot drill first, next time.

@StormBurnX

Genuinely expected this to be another formlabs resin printer used to expose board etch or something similar. Delightful to see such an old school method explained in such detail! Will definitely be checking out the rest of the channel :)

Thank you for the review and additional knowledge. Another excellent review from Dave!!!!

@jean-baptistelasselle4562 4 роки тому

This is really excellent :) ! Tank you so much ffor your work, and indeed I wasimpressed by the pcb quality level you reached, with clearly explained parameters. It might help me on project.

Another note for others, when you're designing a PCB (using something like Eagle) and you use the AutoRouter, I believe you can set some tolerances to ensure that the routes generated will work with this kind of process. But with SMD components, sometimes things just get too small. You can also set your minimum trace widths.

i wish i had the time for a project like this. they need to just come out with an affordable machine that does this right out the gate. good work

@patrickl6866 2 роки тому

Interesting method, and quite intense amount of detail for each operation. Thanks for taking the time to develop and demonstrate it. I have have very good success making prototype PCB using the laser etch of black paint (I use Eagle image export into Lightburn), then Muriatic acid (HCL) and hydrogen peroxide solution to etch away copper. Very clean and much faster

Great quality for home made machine !! Thank you for sharing your experience with us !

@alexscarbro796 4 роки тому

You’re getting some really good quality results there, considering the bearings/belts/rails! I think the only advantages the professional machines have is they can be run with faster feed rates and a smoother workflow.

Oh i was watching that tiny drill bit, waiting for it to snap! - You can get drill bits that are a bit shorter, and as such less flexible so there's a small chance of it going dancing on the PCB. Regarding doing the "center drills" with the V-bit - that's a good habit of doing.
