Thought I would join the craze and try etching a face plate

Maybe shoulda gone with black PCB material but I think this looks ok I guess.

Think I need to actually learn a graphics layout program at some point I swear I measured stuff but it came out too small. maybe a printing issue...

Wow, Lace, this looks great! Copper on blue is a great look.

Looks great Lacesensor! As for it being too small, did you use print scaling? That might affect it a bit.

In particular if you are printing files from PDFs the option to "Scale to Page" seems to be checked by default, which in the precice world of pedal graphcis means "Please screw all the hard work I just did up for me".  Have a good look at the screen that comes up when you hit print and make sure none of the scaling options are on. I also actually recommend converting/saving all your graphic files to PDF before you print them, as some programs, Inkscape is one of them, seem to have real issues printing with out scaling going on.
