I have not used Kicad, or Diptrace for that matter (but may have looked at it briefly). One thing you must keep in mind is that only after real use can you

If you actually want to use air to regenerate it that could work. You might have to fine some CuCl to add, it could take a long long time otherwise. I don t

Stefan, have you ever used Kicad? I am curious how it compares to Eagle / Diptrace / Target. I have only ever used Kicad, and it has done everything I need,

It does DXF import/export although I have never used that myself. Autocad is also one of those age old software products that do things their way and to hell

Stefan - will target import dxf or AutoCAD files? That one looks like it might be interesting and 2 layers/250 pins will hold me a while. I ve used AutoCAD

Stefan - I m sure glad I m not the only person who gets frustrated with Eagle! Diptrace is pretty good, and ExpressSCH/PCB is so easy - but always leaves me
2010-02-13 by Stefan Trethan
In my opinion it is much more intuitive, but learning any new software is not easy! At least it could import Gerber files with it, so maybe you can do most of

You are correct there - that approach is cheaper.... and Stefan is correct - a person could spend $30+ for a temperature controller that would hold the

I agree, this can be done with a coupe of scrap bin components. And if you really want temperature display just buy a controller off ebay, they are 20-30$
