PCBArtProjects

Various MakerQueen PCB Art Projects I've created over the years. Each project contains the files for KiCAD and gerbers. See summaries and images below:

Build An Open Future Keyring (2023)

A keyring with 'Build an Open Future' on the front and the MakerQueen logo on the reverse. It's designed for creation with two-tone soldermask, with sakura pink background and some elements in purple. Purple sections are located on the Eco layer. These were originally made my PCBBUY, using their Special Technology / Two color soldermask option. No functional circuit, artistic only.

Party Button SAO (2021)

Created for the Linux Conference 2022, a SAO that lights up when the button is pressed. Functional and artistic circuit.

Woman in Space PCB Puzzle (2019)

This is an ultra large, A4 size piece of PCB Art. At the time I was interested in creating something that had collectible parts that could be assembled into a frame. Collect all the pieces and the whole thing would light up. Each board has a piece of a large artwork on the front, and an amazing Australian woman in STEM on the reverse. Needless to say, the idea was scrapped. I am still really proud of how the artwork turned out even if the concept was a flop. Not a functional circuit, artistic only.

Sewable LEDs and Battery PCB (2019)

These were for a kit I delveloped but no longer make for wearable tech projects. Snap out the pieces and sew the LEDs and battery pack with conductive thread to make a circuit. Circuit works when the button is pressed. Functional and artistic circuit.

Colour Swatches ENIG, HASL and OSP (2019)

I made these to get an idea of what colours were possible with combinations of PCB layers and had these made in ENIG (Gold) HASL (Silver) and OSP (bronze) finishes. I have my old SG / Spark Girls logo on the reverse. A great PCB art reference or giveaway. Not a functional circuit, artistic only.

Conductive Paint PCB (2019)

These were for a STEM kids activity using homebrew conductive paint. The activity worked but the lights only came on dimly when using PVA Glue / Graphite Power mix on canvas w/ 9V battery. The middle of the board contains a coin for the participant to keep, featuring my old SG / Spark girls logo. Functional and artistic circuit.
