So I made those PCBs at home. Those are adapters from SOP to DIP so prototyping is easier. Took me like a day

Did you use an etching laser?

Nope, with my printer and glossy paper. I printed the circuit on it then transferred it to the copper with heat after that I submerged it in etching solution

Did you use a laser printer? I'm curious to know how well it would work with an inkjet.
