How to make a PCB with soldering mask

[@jaggerneill1404]

Dude this is the best most clean looking end product tutorial I’ve seen on KZbin thank you!!!

[@kmoecub]

Thank you. It's been decades since I've heard anyone recommend washing anything with gasoline. It warms my old-man heart. Also, these types of jobs is why I bought a toaster-oven.

It's widеly used across former Soviet Union

I'm going to give this a try. I have been using the UV resin mask but I'm having a difficult time removing the cured mask from the pads using my laser. It's messing up the pads to where they won't take solder. Great explanation and video, thanks!

[@baddriddimworkshop]

for the one compound, it's good to use a roller. having a plotter and adhesive vinyl, for masking before curing is a must...but yeah use a roller to apply that's for shure

Thanks for a great video! 😃

It will be great to make part 3 about liquid tinning the pcb

[@fixitalex]

I'd better tell about holes metalizing

@@fixitalex that would be better waiting for it

Great video lot of thanks 😍👍

[@DasIllu]

and what if i where a cheapo cheato that just covers the pads with something soluable in water and spray it with lacquer ? :D

[@ianwolter6142]

YEEEEES Another video!! Thank you!!!

[@pyramidsinegypt]

Appreciate the video, thanks for showing us the process!

You can use liquid, but use spin coating instead of glass.

[@fixitalex]

I tried even spaying. But yet one-component mask is not as good as dry film

[@paullacatus8975]

Soda ash is sodium carbonate ? Na2CO3 ?

[@gnoomful]

Yep

[@richardsimpson7766]

Dude, my missus would have my balls if I used the oven. I bought a small toaster oven some years back , added a PIC, triac and thermocouple, well, you know the rest...

[@fixitalex]

I did so aw well later, man)

[@newman2022]

I see you did an excellent job using one material method better than many methods I've seen,is there by any chance this method could be improved I've also noticed that there is no shiny solder mask rather it was a mutt ,I've used a syringe type !!!

[@JonDeth]

If you do some searches, you'll find people that invert their PCB design and just use the laser to burn away the copper so what's left is the traces. I've even seen them burn the holes for PTH assembly. I get it, you need a fume extractor for the copper being burned off, but it eliminates the need to acid etch the board and is superbly faster. What has become popular is using it to create a solder mask so you can chem-etch the board, but it looks like a waste of time unless it's just for hobby builds, and personally, I would rather extract the burned copper fumes into a carbon scrubber than still have to chem-etch after the time already invested in running the laser engraver.

[@yastop2111]

Awesome 😎👍

[@gniewkoprzecudny4095]

Wow, super.

[@hobomaster6237]

nice

[@rgstever]

If you wanna go cheap use black epoxy after all your parts are soldered in place. No one needs to know the board was homemade.

[@fixitalex]

That's not fair. Somebody will repair it one day

why you take the video then recored the sound thats look so much bad

[@fixitalex]

Have you ever tried to translate your video to foreign language? Don't answer! I know that most of the efforts sounds awful!

In 2023 PCBWAY is a thing lol.

[@fixitalex]

An then you find a mistake or collisions... So it's better to prototype first

[@padmad3k63]

@@fixitalex You know what I find funny when people say "PCBWay is cheap"? It's not cheap, you still have to pay for the expensive shipping fee, tax and custom fees. It's pretty expensive.

[@gnom]

@@padmad3k63 Agreed. It's really expencive. By the way it doesn't work in Russia anymore

[@padmad3k63]

​@@gnom A lot of people complained about getting hit with a bill afterwards of their customs ending paying up almost the same as what they paid for their whole delivery including shipping. But you made good points, you can only order min 5 PCB's. If you made a mistake on the layout then you wasted your money and you're stuck with 5 faulty PCB's. Have you ever tried the silkscreening method, using real silkscreen? I haven't tried this yet but this seems the best method for homemaking PCB's.

[@fixitalex]

@@padmad3k63 Now I'm working to impove the technology. So I think in couple of months I'll make video about holes metalization, soldermask and silkscreen

Попрошу заметить: не солнце - а лазер! И вам, батенька, на другой канал - там видео побольше будет)
