Indeed, I'd like to have a play, but can't quite face the yellow
fingers of etching. Problem is, these days, it's too easy for me to
just mail the gerbers to my local PCB shop and pick up PTH, 6-thou
boards later that day :)
Any PCB homebrewers in Cambridge want to combine efforts for a day,
find out what works and what doesn't? I'll do the lasering (with an
implied promise that I'll do more for you if this works), and you can
do the wet stuff.
