Build Guides
Comprehensive documentation for PCB fabrication, CNC machining, lab equipment, and hardware projects. From safety basics to advanced techniques.
PCB Fabrication at Home
Toner transfer, photoresist methods, etching processes, and surface finishing for DIY circuit boards.
Building Lab Equipment
DIY oscilloscope, bench power supply, signal generators, and test equipment from accessible parts.
CNC Machine Setup
Building from scratch or kit assembly, calibration procedures, toolchain setup, and first cuts.
3D Printer Assembly
Kit assembly, firmware configuration, calibration workflows, and troubleshooting common issues.
Material Testing Methods
DIY tensile testing, hardness measurement, thermal characterization, and quality verification.
Safety & Workspace Setup
Chemical handling, ventilation, electrical safety, fire prevention, and proper disposal procedures.
Reverse Engineering
PCB teardown methodology, circuit tracing techniques, component identification, and schematic recreation.
Open Hardware Projects
Building Arduino clones, ESP32 dev boards, sensor modules, and motor controllers from scratch.
What to Expect
Each guide includes complete bills of materials with supplier links, step-by-step instructions with photos, troubleshooting sections, and safety considerations.
We focus on techniques that work in home workshops and maker spaces—no cleanroom or million-dollar equipment required. Real builds, real constraints, real results.
Documentation In Progress
We're documenting our builds and testing processes. First guides coming soon.
