I drilled some boards, alot easier then I thought it would be I first used 1/32 drill bit and then for the button, I used a router bit that dremel has, not sure what size but its a tad bigger then 1/32.
I then put some rosin flux all over the board and took some solder and covered the traces, to protect them andd to help with the soldering later.
and the results. Im still partial to the 4 buttons of my other heatermeter, easier to navigate, for me. But, it works great and This will be for a good friend of mine, so he should like.
I put the connection on the opposite side so that its not in the way when mounting

The hardest part seemed to be the getting the button hole and the connector(-+) pads big enough to protect them when I drill. The center holes were tough to get bigger as they had pads on either side. The resister pads I did not worry about as much. I just had to reroute a couple of traces to give me more room for pads, used Microsoft Paint to do the rerouting. The laser printer Samsung seems to work fairly well with magazine paper. Although it still jams from time to time. It helps to have a nice clean cut peice at a full width of the page. It wants to jam more often when the page is torn out of the magazine or is smaller then standard size paper. I did a print of 30 boards on a peice last night and transfered to the copper and after ironing, I did not even have to put in water the paper came right off leaving the traces on the copper, bueatifully. The gloss just came off smoothly. But, it had to come off as I forgot to mirror it, lol.
