I redid the toner transfer of the B.Cu mask. For the areas that didn't transfer properly, I put some blue masking tape,


and that worked surprisingly well. I drilled out all the holes and even cut away the rectangle for the RP2040-Zero board.


The toner transfer for the F.Silkscreen was not so successful even after a couple of attempts. I think it's because I sanded the fiberglass. I just retraced the parts that didn't transfer with black marker.


I soldered the components to the board, and it all looks great, until you realize I soldered the RP2040 board inside-out... I need to fix that tomorrow.
