Electro Etching?
on: October 28, 2013, 08:45:01 PM
An enterprising member of the Australian Blade Forum came up with this fancy thing (as featured on Hack a day):

http://hackaday.com/2013/10/27/electrochemical-etching-with-a-microcontroller/

rather cool imho, and I'd be tempted to get one myself... obviously its usefulness would run out once I'd tagged all my tools since I'm not a fabricator, but it would be a rather neat thing to have! I'm sure some of you would have even better uses for it...

Looks very interesting but $450 for the assembled device is a bit ;) out of my price range. :D $180 only gets you parts that you need to assemble/solder yourself. It was interesting to watch though. :cheers:

From what I read in the build thread it's 160$aud for the unassembled kit which is soldered, you just have to mount the board yourself... Check the Australian blade forum link

Yes I did, but I only read to the first price quote,  Post #14.  :doh: He reduced the price later and added the soldering.
