Does It Make Sense To Hand Make Printed Circuit Boards?

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 23, 2015 @09:33PM from the do-it-yourself-or-not dept.

An anonymous reader writes: A Hackaday author told the hackers that it isn't worth making your own PC boards anymore. Good tools, fast shipping, and cheap manufacturing capacity means that spending a day making a board that is much worse than a 'pro' board just isn't worthwhile anymore. The reaction was worse than when Kirk told the Star Trek fans to get a life. Although there have been some who agree, many of the readers have taken it as an affront to their very way of life.

Shatner surely. It would all be a bit meta for James Kirk to decry Star Trek fans.
