I given up on local board making, I just let shops in China make them and wait the two to three week to get them via China Post, or 4 to 5 day via DHL

better board, tested, solder mask, silkscreen...

Hi Todd,

KiCad isn't very hard to learn, there's a youtube video tutorial on it.  I've heard good things about direct transfer, but never used it.  Photo resist is tricky, I've done it a few times and by the time you master it, you will waste several boards.

Cheers,
Josh

I haven't etched a PCB since I was a teenager.  Now I have
the need to make some simple boards.  They only need to
be single sided using up to eight or so 16-20 pin Dips and
a few caps, LEDs and what not.

I don't need anything fancy as I will use my Laser printer.

Eagle is $169 for the simple version, but this is too much
as I only need to make a few boards.

Whats available that is low cost that others may have used ?

One more question, direct transfer or photo resist ??

Todd
