Etched enclosures

[noobamp]

gotcha.  I may give it a shot.  your results are way too clean not to try, man.  thanks for the tutorial!

[hylandren]

That's EXACTLY how I etch, except that I use Packing tape for a more water tight (or maybe I should say etchant tight) seal. and I use a Scotchbrite pad to remove the excess paper before etching.
Believe it or not, the toner resist holds up even to light scuffing with the scotchbrite pad...Its WAY more durable than you would think!
Great tutorial.

[deadastronaut]

cool..

i use electrical tape as its nice n flexible enough to stretch around it,

plus it doesn't leave any 'sticky' behind...(and i get 6 rolls for a quid at poundland )

I should move to the UK simply for the reason that the Dollar Tree is replaced with Poundland.

If that's your only reason, Nathan, then I'd stay put!

Is there an Australian equivalent to Poundland? Australian Dollar Tree just isn't that catchy But realistically I think the weather would persuade me to choose Australia over the UK I would still probably sit in my basement all day chained to the soldering iron, but for some reason I enjoy it more when it's pleasant outside I'm a slightly backward person.

"do you play cricket?"

ours are called 'the2$ shop', mostly. our dollar is crap at the moment.

"do you play cricket?"

I learned all the rules when I was about 16 (from a book) and have yet been unable to find anyone to play, let alone find a proper bat and a set of wickets.

[duck_arse]

set of stumps.

that was actually a snidey at some of our english friends. it would be interesting to see a game played by "learned it, from a book"^* teams.

*flowery twats reference this time. python last time. sorry.

How did this most sacred of places get to cricket? (From NZ)

there's  a south australian enterprise called 'spend-a-penny' (when they came up with the name this one I wonder if they knew what the phrase meant ).

That midget Wah is off the hook. Wow.

[darron]

holy wow

Not my first try, but the first time I feel good about the results!
I used electrolytic etching on a steel enclosure, it worked much better than ferric chloride.

[rocket8810]

My first etched enclosure. It's a modified black arts toneworks blacksheep, which is just a modified roland beebaa.

Reverse etched.
