I forgot to mention this clever way to improve the etch aspect ratio called "etch factor" http://www.chemcut.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Chemcut_Thoughts_on_Undercut.pdf -Dry film photoresist https://www.amazon.com/30cm%C3%975m-Portable-Photosensitive-Production-Photoresist/dp/B07MMVPY1Z/ -Photoresist processing datasheet https://www.dupont.com/content/dam/dupont/amer/us/en/products/ei-transformation/documents/DEC-Riston_GeneralProcessingGuide.pdf -Special ink and transparencies (films) for photomasks: https://filmdirectonline.com/ -Flip pins https://shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/853 -405nm lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2BR1XN80FQT9R/ -Epson printer with tank for custom ink: https://epson.com/For-Work/Printers/Inkjet/EcoTank-ET-M1170-Wireless-Monochrome-Supertank-Printer/p/C11CH44201 -Strange Parts did a great video on metal business cards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83GDV0xsTTs -https://mymetalbusinesscard.com/product/stainless-steel-business-cards/ 100 cards for $250 could be the cheapest way to get custom mechanical parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkZkaT_P0Ck Support Applied Science on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AppliedScience Sun, 12 Jul 2026 13:15:37 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.loping.net https://tube.loping.net/lazy-static/avatars/8a56e488-2120-4649-a417-badf5893657b.png https://tube.loping.net/videos/watch/dda0ccad-bbf2-4a83-927e-4b3bc6fe2a85 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.loping.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
