This way of #printing #homemade #pcb s with the #3Dprinter is very fiddly and unreliable. And also time consuming...
I should really try using the #tonertransfer method, but last time I tried I obtained very bad results...

Here's the #pcb after some manual touches... Let's cut it and put it in the #ferricchloride !

@penguin86@social.ichibi.eu good technique, what software did you use ? Inkscape ? And the "slicer "?

@penguin86@social.ichibi.eu .... it works great with a good pen plotter. the difference is probably mostly in the pen holder, which needs to have *just* the right pressure, which is basically just the weight of the pen. any extra downforce will cause the pen to not leave a solid line of ink.

...and, sure enough, it failed. It was banging the printer's head against the endstop, because #inkscape generated a #gcode with negative Y values... 🤦 WTF WHYYYYYYYYYYYY????
