How to make a pcb without etching or drilling

This is the cheapest way to make a pcb

*tip* You can also print a mirrored image of your circuit and glue it on the bottom of the "board" to see the connections needed to be done without lifting the components to see under them

***I know about the typo near the end so please don't post any stupid comments***

How long did the whole process take? I would argue that you time is worth more than the cost to get a proto made from some place like sunstone.

@ProfessorPapaJ It takes about 25 minutes with quick dry glue, and you don't need to go somewhere to get it made for you, since you can do it at home.

@justin18349 Thanx!

It is creative... however i have to give it a dislike. Theres a reason pcb's aren't made of cardboard. Electricity and paper just doesn't mix! (/read fire hazards). I foresee an electrician noob, making his first circuit, see this video, makes a cardboard "pcb" and put's it in a wooden box... something is wrong, at short happen and sparks fly... and next morning he's house is a campfire.

I like the idea of doing the same with an expired credit card, cause the plastic would just melt not burn.

I used the same procedures on expired credit card instead of cardboard.

i make circuit boards on a piece of carton too.

@SaucePuddle Printed Circuit Board.

I would be very happy if you figured out a way to do this with SMT

Just a questoin: What's pcb stand for?
