Printing the Board on my Laser

When I printed my board using the printer button for toner transfer, it printed all the copper with a fine mesh instead of solid black. The toner transfer process made holes for all the mesh spots. Is there some setting I need to fiddle to get these to print better? The board works, but I had to patch it up a little more than I’m used to. See how the dots in the traces are nearly etched through. Image shot by holding my cellphone in front of a magnifier. [image]

Output SVG/Gcode for etching PCB?

Hello, I’m just outfitted a laser engraver with RAMPs 1.4, and so far, so good. It will currently accept gcode from the output of Turnkey Tyranny’s laser Inkscape Plugin, using this Arduino/RAMPs FW drop. All well and good. I’m using this method to etch PCBs. The idea is simply to cover the copper clad with spraypaint, and then use the etcher to etch away the paint to expose the copper you DON’T want to keep…Then, sit it in an acid batch, burn the copper and then run it through the laser ag…
