[Robotgroup] Printing PCBs

[Clendon Gibson]

I am thinking of getting the gear together to make single or maybe double sided PCB boards. The techniques I was taught back in the day was to use copper boards coated with photo-resist. It looks like I can get a complete kit of this including some starter boards for $70-$80. 

In particular I am wanting to make this board for the L298 dual H-Bridge:

I am thinking that if I can sell 7 or 8 of these boards to interested RG members for maybe $10 a piece I can cover my costs and provide a useful service to the group.

What I don't have is a drill press or a means of cutting the finished boards. So would anyone be willing to provide the drilling and cutting in return for a board or two, or some fee?

Of course some members may be happy to do the cutting and drilling themselves.

If there is interest please let me know. I would also be open to printing boards from anything you can print on a transparency.
