Fan traces for power

Hi there,

does anybody know a good method to achieve those fan like traces for power? I’m attaching an example to see what I mean.

Thanks for any tips!

I presume you are referring to the tapered trace widths. I suspect you can achieve that result with KiCAD’s “Filled Zones” feature (known as “copper pours” in other places) . . . . plus a lot of detailed busy work . . . and a moderate amount of aggravation.

Here’s a segment from a board I’m working on right now. It’s not quite what you’re trying to achieve, but it gives an example of what you can do with pours.

Thanks Dale,

It is also the only solution I could imagine, therefore I thought I better ask :slight_smile:
