Spent most of the week trying to just get a resist going. You can still tell there are some breaks, but those should be fixable with a really fine sharpie. I&#8217;ve been experimenting with a variety of factors that people say help with the toner transfer, from paper choice to laser printer brand to application technique and more. The largest difference I could see was in the choice of paper. Previously I was using a photo paper, which was more plastic and less paper. This messed up the iron (which was easy to clean with a little bit of steam and some paper), but also made it impossible to remove from the copper without destroying the traces. Going to a thinner presentation paper let me really weaken the fibers with a soak in water. Unfortunately, the traces are so thin they still break off anyways.<\/p>\n<p>The second picture is what I&#8217;ve been able to put together with respect to sewing. This is only a portion of the hat, and was just something I did for practice on the sewing machine. There&#8217;s some wicked curves in there, but I think it went okay.<\/p>\n<p>Successes:<br \/>\nPut together part of a hat. Got the toner transfer complete. For more info, see above.<\/p>\n<p>Problems:<br \/>\nWell, I still need to finish the brim assembly. I&#8217;ve got the toner transfer done as well as I can pull off, but there&#8217;s still possible problems with the etching. The mix works for sure, now the problem is doing it with the resist.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m no longer worried about the sewing at all. Couple hours in front of a machine some evening\u00a0this week and I&#8217;ll have it all done.<\/p>\n<p>Plan:<\/p>\n<p>Monday, gonna to the etching and soldering in the evening. Tuesday should be final checking of the electronics. Which leaves the rest of the week for final assembly.
