Hi,

Is there a way to make double layer through hole PCBs at home????

trough hole in the home pcb

I think you are trying to ask how to connect the two layer traces through holes in the PCB...

Yes there is a bypass...
for connecting the traces together...make holes on both ends and solder them together through the hole...or you can also use thin jumper wires through the hole...
 

home through hole plating for pcb

Hi,

No that's not what I mean...There are various ways to make a double layer PCB at home...using some kind of printers and may be some chemicals.
But all these methodes do not create internaly plated vias which is called through hall plating that's found in manufactured PCBs.

What I am asking about is if there is a way possible to do that at home using simple tools and components.

homemade though plated machine

In a word, no.
It's not easy, it's not nice and it certianly takes a lot of time to do.

I usually end up making home prototypes so that all soldering is done underside and not under component bodies etc.
Or at least both sides of a PTH resistor leg etc.

I have tried the rivets in the past and it was a lot of work for little gain.

Soldering component leg offcut through holes worked as well.

homebrew plated-thru holes

Give it for PCb vendor, that's his job to do it...You have to do lot of iteration before getting right...You need lot of time, effort & iteration.... Not viable option...

Concentrate in the job you best are....you earn more than what PCb vendor gonna make from you.
 

easy plated thru holes

Hi,

Thanks alot for your help, I heared that there are some chemicals that help to do the hole through plating at home without the electolisis process. Any one has ideas about that.
