Title: Pangea Vibe
Post by: daleykd on August 04, 2016, 03:42:21 PM
Some of you have already seen this in the FB group.  But for those who haven't, I'm kind of proud of this one.

"Major praise to Branislav for this Pangea Vibe PCB. I have always tried to do PCBs smaller; this time, I used one bigger than any other I've ever done. It made me feel like I was cheating when getting it in the box!

This etch was my most ambitious to date. I realize it's nothing fancy, but it's considerably larger than any previous, and I tried some portions of reverse etch. My next goal is to do some form of paint fade."

That's a lovely etch. Did you do any sort of final coat?

Nah.  I'm too lazy.

Awesome build! I am closing in on finishing one of these myself, and had definitely not thought of orienting the PCB that way within the box.

Dude, this geologist approves. That etch is seriously amazing (as is anything related to plate tectonics). 8)

HAH!  Thanks, man.  As much as I hate doing etches, I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it.  (Still nowhere near as good as dminner.)

I'm a bit frustrated that the classic/pulse didn't get a good enough etch, but you can't tell they're there, so it's not... awful.
