Using 3D Printing And Copper Tape To Make PCBs | Hackaday
"In a recent video [QWZ Labs] demonstrates an interesting technique to use 3D printing to make creating custom PCBs rather straightforward even if all you have is a 3D printer and a roll of copper tape."

Back in 2020 Julian Jungel and I started our maker podcast #Tinkertalk. Until 2022 we recorded 22 episodes and talked about a lot of maker-y stuff:
#3dprinting #PCBs #Coding #Microcontrollers #andmore
Now I’ve remastered and archived all episodes. It is now hosted on MakerTube. I am re-releasing one episode each week.
The podcast is recorded in german language. This is the first episode.
New vid! #PCBs I made in 2025, part 1: LED charm ✨

Finally pulled together a prototype with this little board – one of my new #Charmware set, reviving the series of modular tech #jewelry bits I started back in 2018. Been dreaming of assembling these with elytra and bike-leather, and the day finally came... The board still needs some tweaks (smaller switch etc.), but with my fixed-up #KiCad workflow, those will be a snap. 😸
Tues #hardware update & #HackOClock coming up in ~30!
Some gorgeous black #PCBs arrived; I’ll be testing & wrapping up a new Joule Thief design in #KiCad too... plus, #PenPlotter prep for holiday cards?? ✨

#Introduction time 😊
Long time maker/nerd girl who loves to learn... and can't get enough
Designing my own #pcbs with #Kicad often around #IoT and #HomeAutomation, but you never know what 🤔 Huge fan of #HomeAssistant
Been #3Dprinting for several years
Started with DOS 3.3 but now run #Linux and #Ubuntu and #Debian . ❤️ Love #retrocomputing
Very much enjoy my #HomeLab and learning
In my "spare" time may be out hiking, fixing or fixing retro systems
Ehehehe!! Finally, my #KiCad process is rolling again... here's a tiny, ornate blinky – the first entry in my updated #Charmware series of #PCBs, begun in 2018: https://www.hackster.io/glowascii/charmware-modular-tech-jewelry-system-a237f5
I'm working out some small kinks in the upload process – but hoping to have a small batch of prototypes this weekend! ✨
(Left one is backwards bc I forgot to flip the KiCad screenshot before drawing on a ton of layers lol)
Tuesday evening update going live! Immersive audio testing, my discontinued faves, custom #KiCad components, (ham) #radio, and sticker designs (help me decide!) ✨
Want to do these earlier, but I’m still a tad under the weather and finally found the energy 😅

A couple of new #arcade #pcbs arrived this week. Will take very lazy intro videos of them later. For now, marvel at my handy taping skills. This #simpsons #marquee didn’t survive the mail. But I really do enjoy the feel & smell of office #konami #instructionmanual #arcade #collecting #retro #homegamecenter
The LMG Security team is proud to be back at Pacific Coast Banking School this week. Our Director of Training and Research, Matt Durrin, is teaching Cybercrime: A Banker’s Guide — a deep dive into how criminals turn cyberattacks into profit through scams, ransomware, card theft, and more, and how the dark web and cryptocurrency fuel the business.
Matt will also walk through how attackers get caught, and what banks can do to prepare strong defenses, effective response plans, and leverage cyber insurance wisely.

#Tariffs on #PCBs change like the weather. My understanding is it's because the law allows the president to single-handed impose these #taxes in an emergency. There's no standard, so the president really wanting it counts as an "emergency". We need reforms so one person cannot raise taxes on a whim!
What good are #TreatyRights if the fish are poisoned?
Monday, July 14, 2025
By George Ochenski, Daily Montanan
"By virtually any measure, the #ConfederatedSalishKootenai Tribal Nation is an incredible success story against all odds. Forcibly removed from their homeland in the Bitterroot Valley, despite not having waged war against the white settlers or army, their own '#TrailOfTears' brought them to the Flathead Valley to live within the boundaries of the vastly reduced lands they retained in the #HellgateTreatyOf1855.
"Although the #HellgateTreaty is widely regarded as one of the best treaties signed by any of the nation’s #IndigenousPeople, even land supposedly reserved for the exclusive habitation of the #SalishKootenai was opened to purchase by non-tribal #settlers by the #DawesAct of 1887.
"The act’s intentions were to allocate reservation lands the tribes already owned to individual families as private property and, as part of the 'civilization' of #NativeAmericans, it required tribal members to register with the federal government to receive their 'allotment.'
"The entire debacle was part of the #AllotmentAndAssimilationEra from 1887 to 1934. Simply put, the federal government’s plan was to force Native Americans to be 'assimilated' into #EuropeanAmerican culture.
"Importantly, any reservation lands not allocated to tribal members was deemed
'surplus' land and opened to purchase by non-tribal settlers. This excursion into #ReservationLands was further exacerbated by the ability of tribal members to sell their allotment parcels to non-tribal members.
"The fracturing of the Salish-Kootenai’s tribal lands through sales to non-tribal members continues to cause serious problems today, including the long and on-going battle to retain their #water, #hunting and #fishing #TreatyRights.
"Article III of the Hellgate Treaty could not be more clear regarding the Tribe’s fishing rights: 'The exclusive right of taking fish in all the streams running through or bordering said reservation is further secured to said Indians; as also the right of taking fish at all usual and accustomed places…'
"Yet, just last month the Confederated Salish-Kootenai Tribal Nation issued a very serious warning to tribal members regarding the fish they have treaty rights to catch because they are poisoned.
CSKT Fish Consumption Advisory
"The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes issued a fish consumption advisory on June 24, 2025, warning tribal citizens not to eat fish due to the presence of Polychlorinated biphenyls (#PCBs), #dioxins and #furans at levels deemed unsafe for humans: Source: Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes
"The #FishConsumptionAdvisory urges 'all tribal members to avoid consuming all species and sizes of fish harvested from the lower Clark Fork River from the Bitterroot River near Missoula to the Flathead River near Paradise. Recent testing has confirmed the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins and furans in fish at levels that are unsafe for consumption by Tribal peoples. It is also advisable to avoid consuming rainbow trout and northern pike harvested from the Bitterroot River and the upper Clark Fork River above the Bitterroot River to Rock Creek, and, to avoid consuming rainbow trout from the Blackfoot River.
"As the Advisory explains: 'These contaminants pose a health risk to all fish consumers, and an even greater health risk to the most sensitive members of the Tribal population including women of child bearing age, pregnant nursing women, and young children. These contaminants have been linked to negative health effects in the immune, and nervous systems and may be associated with birth defects…PCBs and dioxins are classified as probable and definite #HumanCarcinogens, respectively.'
"So what good are treaty fishing rights if you can’t eat the fish because they’re poisoned? Are they really 'rights' — or is this just another in our nation’s long and shameful history of abrogating its treaties with Native Americans?
"Moreover, #Montana’s poison fish affect us all. Just as our government has failed the Salish-Kootenai, they have likewise failed to uphold our rights to the 'swimmable/fishable waters' guaranteed by the #CleanWaterAct — because no one, tribal or non-tribal, is immune to poisoned fish."

My #BMS #PCBs arrived from @aislerhq and they look nice. I designed it because I couldn't find 3S BMS for #LiFePO4 cells and didn't like the voltage thresholds of the cheap #LiIon ones.
It uses the #BQ77915 chip from #TexasInstruments. Size is 63x50mm.
While fetching all components according to the BOM, I noticed the #diode had the #footprint SOT-323 assigned. I only have SOT-23 ones :blobcatgoogly:
I'm glad that I can still make it fit, and the third leg isn't used at all (it's a single diode).
Can't wait to find some time to finish soldering a few and try them out.
It supports 3S up to 5S, and I added #silkscreen part to mark how it's configured.
The back has detailed instructions, so I don't forget them.
My first job out of college was at Teradyne, a company that makes PCB and semiconductor testers. Had a nostalgia jag and looked up pictures of the bonkers PCBs that went into their equipment. (I was writing test automation software: with hindsight I wish I had worked with the HW folks, I would have learned a lot!)
#pcbs #retrocomputing
Can anyone recommend a UK based PCB manufacturer for simple home/hobby PCBs? Only looking for small run of some test boards #electronics #pcbs
