#-Link-Snipped-#chaitanyagymnastSir how to make a Printed circuit board (PCB) in home?? I've seen some techniques but i didn't found those chemicals like ferric chloride..
Member • Aug 22, 2012
What we can order from Mumbai sir..godfatherTry to get it from your local electronics market or you can order it from Mumbai or let me know I'll inquire about it here and let you know.

is it useful?? or waste of time??Troll_So_HardHome made PCB ? I seriously doubt.

How much costs the Ferric chloride and copper clad, and what is scrub..[Prototype]Its very easy to make an home made PCB via toner transfer. I make them very frequently. You require the following materials as prerequisites.
1. A LASER printer (Laser is must, inkjet won't work)
2. Iron (the one used for clothes)
3. A scrub (scotch brite works best..😁)
Those are expensive stuffs.
I've experimented the layout printing on butter paper, news paper etc, but the best one I found is using photo paper. You'll get it for Rs.5 but it gives amazing result.
Those chemicals are very easy to get locally but if not, I'll link you to online resources.
You'll end up wasting like 4-5 clads in the beginning but you'll improve as you make them & will realize the do's and dont's.

Why not enquire at a local store?chaitanyagymnastHow much costs the Ferric chloride and copper clad, and what is scrub..
I mean what is the cost of overall procedure..
Member • Aug 22, 2012
If you've the Laser printer and Iron, then overall process wouldn't need more than Rs.120 the first time. The copper clad is generally Rs.35 (big enough), photo paper for Rs.5. I used ferrous chloride which I bought for Rs.60 (500gm) & scrub is just to clean the PCB. The one used to wash the dishes in kitchen. Check the TV for Scotch Brite. Its the same thing.chaitanyagymnastHow much costs the Ferric chloride and copper clad, and what is scrub..

One important thing I forgot to mention was a drill machine. I used the general purpose drill machine with 0.7mm drill bit. This is basically a little sketchy job as IC holes are required to be properly drilled in alignment. If you've access to such drill machine, you can just order the drill bits of around 0.7 mm which works the best. Also order 1mm drill bit for drilling holes for components like IC 7805 which have wide terminals than other components. For most part, the 0.7mm one will do the job.chaitanyagymnastany one help to buy pcb making kit online..

Come on, don't be so demanding. Go to local stationary. They have that paper. Do a little research of your own as well bro. Don't keep the habit of getting spoon fed.chaitanyagymnasti can not find glossy photo paper 😔
any one help

That's weird thing. Go to stationary & ask for Photo paper. They may not have understood you, explain them that you want the paper which is used for printing photos. Last resort would be to go to a photo studio and beg to them so they sell you one..😁chaitanyagymnastsorry, actually i searched for glossy paper in my home town, i found no where... 😔

You've to solder on bare copper only, its already ready for soldering. If you're looking for that green coat, then its very difficult to do at home & requires more tools. Its generally not required unless you want to preserve the PCB for long as raw PCB will get oxidized and the copper thickness will go on reducing with time.chaitanyagymnastafter etching, we are with bare copper, how can we make it compatible for soldering??

Oh well, I never checked the proportion to be honest. It all depends on the chemical and its purity. My dad was a chemist so using his contacts I was able to get hands on laboratory grade Ferrous chloride which was highly pure. I just roughly made a 15-25% solution.chaitanyagymnasti have another doubt, FeCl3 taken very long time to etch, but generally 10-15 mints is enough..
i used 10% solution..
for perfect etching, how much concentration of solution should be used..
sorry for small doubts, i don't know anything about it.. 😔
i'm learning..

Not all designs are available ready made buddy and If you are designing some thing new you cannot find a ready made one that easilydhruba sunuwarwhy would you make a pcb when you can find redymade ones!!!!!!
