Title: Look what i did :) My first fabbed boards!
Post by: jimmybjj on August 06, 2011, 09:22:07 PM
I'm super proud. Big thanks to Brian for all his help, guidance and most of all patience  ;D These are for my own personal use, i do not plan on selling any fabbed boards on a regular basis. I might throw a couple on the "For Sale" forum every once in a while. A couple of small cosmetic goofs but all in all they came out great. From left to right; Mictesters really cheap compressor, buffered klon buffer, orange squeezer, Klon dual buffer or buffered splitter. All of which fit into a 1590a.

very cool. If you don't mind me asking. how much does a run like that cost? I might be interested in getting some projects I've been tinkering with together.

Its not expensive, $5 sq inch.

Check out dorkbot or batch pcb.

I like to see advancement like this. I'll have to keep my eyes open to snag a few when you offer them.  :)

I would love a Mictester Cheap compressor pcb if you ever decide to let one go.

These layouts are very well thought out. Congratulations! I just sent off a stupid number of layouts to Laen yesterday. It's like Xmas every two weeks!

I know exactly what your talking about, I tend to check the mail alot more when I got boards coming.

I have to take another stab at that one ??? I had the opamp flipped on the schematic and didn't notice it on the layout.  ::)

I have a bunch of schems I have to verify, then I'm jumping in on that thing too! Never done a two sided before...

how big are the two larger boards, ~2 sq in?

This forum is epic; I never realised there were services available like this  ;D.

I think I am going to have a go at a few designs and get some boards fabbed.

Might do my own buffer board and a few others.

anyone looking for a compressor should really check out  this circuit. Gets really squishy.

This is awesome. At some point we plan to make a board for the boobtube (just downloaded eagle and trying to get my noodle around it) with the eventual result being a fabbed board for it with board mounted tube socket, jacks and pots to make assembly of it as simple as possible.

You're an inspiration!

I really appreciate the compliments. Let me know if I can help. I won't be much help on the electronics portion (although I think you guys have got that part down :) but I might be able to on the layout.

That would be awesome.  I'd definitely have to pick one of those up.

Just put my order in for my first designs with Laen.

SHO circuit, Klone Buffer and a JFET Buffer/Splitter.

Hopefully they all work!

If they do I'm gonna move on to more ambitious designs.

Congrats, it's is a really great feeling when your first boards fire up.

Still playing with different ideas. I saw an idea similar to this in another thread and thought i would try it. No switch wiring aside from input and output, no led wiring either if you are good at drilling :) What a time saver boards like this could be.

Dude that looks SOOOOO amazing and easy. Great job, it turned out great. That is a massive time saver. I guess it makes sense with the board so small you aren't paying that much more to include that into the design of it.

Badass man.

Epic Jim!  I admire you guys who can use eagle so well and design these... it does my head in!
