The first part is a UV light, which is used to develop a photo-sensitive PCB. Once this has been done. The PCB has to be treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) dissolved in water. This removes the UV-sensitive plastic, where it has been tackeled by the light. + +The second part is the actual etching machine, which is designed to be compatible to euro cards (and even bigger ones). The etching machine is either filled with sodium persulfate (Na2<\sub>S2<\sub>O8<\sub>) or iron(III) chloride. diff --git a/cad/.pcb_holder_lid.scad.swp b/cad/.pcb_holder_lid.scad.swp deleted file mode 100644 index 0b58ba4..0000000 Binary files a/cad/.pcb_holder_lid.scad.swp and /dev/null differ
