Anyone willing to etch a PCB for me?

[daddy4life85]

I'm just curious if someone would be willing to etch and drill out a set of the input PCB's for the V2.8 megadrum for me? I just don't have time lately I was going to do it and even have PCB material but it's getting hard enough to find time to just work on my drum kit period Kids, school and work tend to take a lot of spare time lol. Anyways I'd understand a cost would be involved just figured I'd see if anyone would be up to it.

I've got a set that are already etched, just not drilled yet. I can post up a pic if you are interested. That was one of the hardest pcb's I've done yet. I guess it was due to the size. I will trade you for your unused PCB, and you pay shipping if you are interested. Let me know. Also where are you? USA? I don't know what shipping is anywhere else.

Yeah I'm in the states. That would be cool, I don't really have a way to drill out the holes currently. My friend and I were looking to get a drill press but he's in China for a month or longer now lol. I don't think do them with a hand drill is a good idea. But I could send you a few sheets of PCB material in exchange The PCB material I have is blue and double sided. I got it a while back as I was going to etch some amp PCB's.

I don't mind drilling it out, I just don't have any of the jacks to get the hole size off of. If you can get me that size I will drill it out. I will post a pic of the pcb either this afternoon or tomorrow. I'm getting ready to go to a college B-Ball game here in a short while so I will probably not have time today.

Ok, I don't have any of the jacks but let me look for some online I suppose and see if it lists hole sizes. Thanks!

These are probably what I'll use. I think there is a spot for USB and MIDI isn't there? I need to find connectors for those...also the PCB mount IDE connectors haha. I imagine the pins are about the same for all of them. If they happen to be a little off I can probably drill them out a little bit.

[jman 31]

Yeah. The IDE will just be standard size. The only sizes I need, I believe, are the input jacks and the two big connectors on the USB.

[daddy4life85]

The 2 big connectors on the USB are like 1/8" I believe. They are just for holding it down. I can't seem to find any info on the hole size requirements for the TRS jacks.

Probably if I go with the size of the hole that Synthex has drawn for the pcb it will be ok.

Here's the boards.
