Of course they use CNCs for cutting slots and cutting out the boards, and the drilling machines they use are pretty impressive (like compressed air driven drills running at 100k rpm ). It would take them AGES to mill out tens, or hundreds, or thousands of boards, whereas by etching, they can dump something like a square meter copper clads into the baths and get consistent and good quality with their refined and infinitely repeatable process. The holes in the aluminum case were done with a normal battery-powered drill remembered wrong, I actually used a friends drill-press for those.įor example, this week I created a step-up DCDC-converter board with SMDs from the schematic design and layout to milling, soldering and testing it in something like 4-5 hours including breaks (granted that it is a small board with simple design, mostly just following the DCDC converter chip datasheet and calculating some feedback resistor values). The 1.5F capacitor can keep it running for 3 days and charges up in seconds.įirst time I was soldering 0603s (or was it 0804s I forgot.), I did a few of these mostly just for practicing soldering smaller component sizes and trying out milling very small boards (this was before I made the even smaller IR-ledreceiver panels for the robots). This design has nothing to do with the original Shredmaster, but I might have done a slight, unintentional breach of trademark rights there.

Also some of the ground plane-thermal reliefs for some components are really close to the edge, but I had designed the the size and shape (the cutout well get to that at a later part) specifically for the 1590B-enclosure, but had to move to a larger enclosure, because of the amount of potentiometers in the front plate.
