PCB Construction

Name of the Game: Be Careful



I used Modela to mill a PCB on a small copper covered board. It all went reasonably well, except for the profile cut around the edge which wasn't deep enough the first time. But I simply re-taped the PCB down to the bed again and did a second cut .05mm deeper. It worked like a charm.


Below are some photos of the process.

PCB in vice. Soldering on components. Had too much coffee. Good thing I didn't go into surgery - shaky hands.
