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:
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 These were originally made my PCBBUY, using their Special Technology / Two color soldermask option.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.
Created for the Linux Conference 2022, a SAO that lights up when the button is pressed. Functional and artistic circuit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
