For permanent prototypes, I need to make circuit boards.
I need to get comfortable with KiCAD. This should help with both perf and laser printed boards.
Perfboards
Pretty simple, but can be logistically complex for larger projects
Copper Clad Boards
Slightly cheaper and can handle more complex circuits. But I have to hand drill the holes and print the circuits. For now, I need to rig up a basic drill press, eventually I need a real one.
For any technique, double check all connections. It's easy for traces to be connected that should not be.
Laser Printing
Laser toner is resistant to ferric chloride.
Milled
Modify a 3d printer to mill a board. It looks like people have had mixed success with this one.
