[Homebrew_PCBs] PL2000

2004-05-26 by mickeym

I bought a PL2000 laminator and tried a couple of things.

The first was a single sided copper board with a top layer parts 
outline, the pcb material was very thin (maybe 0.030) and I used 
magazine paper. It actually turned out pretty good, except large fill 
areas were weak and a couple of the traces smeared.

The second was thick double sided copper (0.060) using magazine paper. 
It seemed to go okay at first, but it started to bind and damaged the 
paper. I ran it through a couple of times anyway to see how it might 
look, but no toner was transferred at all.

I'll try photo glossy paper next, and will probably modify the case a 
little.
