Title: My first etch attempt
Post by: selfdestroyer on March 07, 2013, 08:37:48 AM
I think it came out "ok" for my first time. I can't wait to try it again this weekend. Any pointers?

I did the toner transfer and ironed it on the enclosure and gave it a light etch bath. I think I really need to let it sit in there longer... I was just worried.

Looks great! maybe you should be giving is tips!!! If you do want a deeper etch and want minimize pitting I would paint over the toner (as much as possible) with model paint. I always paint mine and I still get worried when etch is in progress, but I'm finding you can get a nice deep etch that way.

Looks cool. I am getting ready to try my first etched enclosure as well. It is nice to see others results and get some tips.

I hope my first etch comes out that good.

Looks like someone is also building a multiplex;D
