Mitch's next project.. Zaccaria Universe

[Strangeways]

Impressive Mitch - I learn something new every day 

[ddstoys]

Thats awsome mitch i usually make PCBs the hard way by hand with the etch resistant pen after seeing your great results ill be buying some Press N Peel for sure

[illawarra_steelers]

Hey Mitch - firstly it's EXCELLENT to see you back here, just hasn't been the same here - we need some more EM love

So keep the updates coming.

What pisses me off is I totally stripped an EM Zac about 10 years ago and threw nearly all of it away cause I thought nobody would ever need it

I wouldnt worry to much Tony from what ive seen so far Mitch can make anything he needs from scratch

[big dog]

Any one can,you can do. just wait till someone see's and plays he's Vortex.It's some thing else.

Now that's a restoration! Need a part? Make a part!

[beaky]

so how long has press and peel been available?
it would have been great if it was out 8 years ago.
it would have made making proto type p.c.b's so much easier for me

[ajlaird]

It's been around for at least 5 years.

If you want some then I know you can get it from Electus/Jaycar.

[ajlaird]

Actually, further research suggests that is has been around since at least 2000 (but maybe not available in Australia that long?).

yeah been available at least that long, i used it about that long ago at work to make boards for a customer who wanted customised timers made up. They were my first introduction into using Press n peel film. Its not that hard to use really. Just make sure, as i said, to get the board nice and hot when ironing it on. And its NOT mentioned in the instructions, but you must print you artwork in MIRROR IMAGE (reverse) onto the film! luckily that was pointed out to me by my boss or I would've made that mistake first time i used it. 

Available from Jaycar, packet of 5 sheets for $35.00 catalog no HG-9980, as is everything neede to make PCBs

Thanks Tony, i havent been too far away, i frequent the site nearly every day just havent had much to contribute lately.


You wouldnt believe some of the things i'd thrown out years ago... things that'd make you cry... things i thought at the time were WORTHLESS ie really nice playfields etc

[Mr Pinbologist]

One thing i forgot to mention.. its possible to warp the boards from too much heat i found out the hard way when i did the last two

Dont worry though if anyone tries this method though of making boards... if the board warps they can be reheated with the iron after they are etched (place a sheet of paper  between the iron and the board) and use the clothes iron to heat it up again, then just hold it flat with a few books etc til it cools

[big dog]

Mitch,can not wait for a thread on a playfield wall hanging of yours,with some hi tec lighting,sounds and effects

[beaky]

looks like its time to get protel out and design some more p.c.bs

[SPURR]

Yes Mitch I agree with Tony we have missed you. 
I know your not that close to Newcastle but you should try to make down to a one of our pinball meets, Im sure a lot of us guy's would like to pick your brain and chat.
