The idea

“Getting in house tools for double sided PCB manufacturing (LDM for etch resist deposition, 0.5mm head for rivet gun to use solid copper 0.5mm rivets as vias) to manufacture PCBs for existing guitar pedals business in house as I am bottlenecked by waiting time for ready boards and customers want slower wait time. Right now waiting time for boards is 3-4 weeks, and in small scale testing with self built LDM machine that applies gel laquer, etching, and cleaning, I had more than great results with 0.2mm pitch of traces which is overkill for my pedals, and 30 minutes per 5 boards wait time with price lower than delivery of 5 factory made. Current sales are slow because most customers are repeat customers and they go on buying spree every 4 weeks I release 5 new designs. With in house fab I can cut those 4 weeks to 2 days”
