This is my next attempt to build a laser plotter to do the exposing part in the PCB manufacture process.

This project is shelved.
I had some trouble with the lead screw and could not be bothered to buy a new one.
The generel principal works. For now I am making my PCBs the classical way (lithography and etching).
Maybe I am reviving this project one day, it is kinda cool.
For the documentation on how I make my one an two layer PCBs, see my other projects.
Sorry for the long time without any updates. I got distrected with other projects like forging a caming knife, building a geiger-müller counter (not finished) and lockpicking. I will give my best to finish the project and documentation in the near future.

In the process of manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is imperative to create a prototype PCB. This is because significant design flaws could emerge during production, resulting in costly and challenging corrections. Hence, having a PCB prototype is an essential precautionary measure to preempt any potential problems during large-scale production. See https://uetpcb.com/a-guide-to-the-pcb-manufacturing-process/ to know more. Enhancing the efficiency of your design during the prototyping phase can significantly enhance the performance of your final product. Moreover, within the PCB manufacturing process, this approach allows for the rectification of any defects that could compromise the quality or effectiveness of the end product.
