Student Reviews:
- When laser-cutting: Don’t go too slow, rather to more passes

Electronics Production
- Step down by the copper thickness when the endmill gets dull, to use a different section of the mill and have good results again
- Use FR-1 because FR-4 will kill the mill much quicker
- Be careful about reflowing FR-1
- ~ 100$ for making boards at a board house based on n_layers, turnaround time
- Make batches <= 10 yourself, bigger quantities externally
- They also do components placing and soldering
- Design Rules
- How close can traces be?
- How thin can traces be?
- Layers
- 1.5-sided boards = One-sided board with crossovers
- Parts search engine: http://octopart.com/
- Solder Joints: shiny and smooth
- Solder bottom to top and inside out
