I use SprintLayout one of Rusia electric software for design PCB and print it to calendar paper. I
always use calendar paper for print PCB because it cheap and good quality

The rst we need to cut the PCB exactly the PCB we print on calendar paper. After that we use
the iron press to the PCB about 5 minute at maximum temperature

We put the PCB into water about 5 minute. After that we take the paper out and put it to FeCl3
liquid for 15 minute or more...then put to water again and clean it.

Because make the PCB take alot of time so for easy you can make PCB online. I usualy make PCB
online by upload the gerber le to JLCPCB.COM (https://jlcpcb.com/) for get PCB only 2$ for
10PCB. All le of my project include gerber le below. https://drive.google.com/ le/d/1UjW-

Put the transformer to hot water in 5 minute. after that we can get the ferrite core. windings the
transformer we use 0.4mm wire with primary 40T and secondary 5T for get 12V output. At the
output with big current we use 6 wire together. Each layer must to use insulation tape

Solder the transformer and test the circuit. In the rst test we must connect with 60w/220v light
bulb before plug to 220V. If the circuit fail the light bulb will on and we safety
