A guy i watch on they youtubes for crafts just did a video on something that i think would be of use to us. The same techniques should be applicable for etching PCBs. I know there are a few folk on here that do this, but i just wanted to share.

_whaps with newspaper_

Someday maybe! Just got to think of a way! We have 3d printers after all, it would be really neat to just print up some (even if a bit jank like etched PCB) at home.
