Sorry for the horrible audio. Something in the laptop is crushing the audio with walkie-talkie grade audio bandwidth.
I've now added a section to my website with some printed circuit board designs that you can download and print for making your own PCBs. There are also going to be microcontroller software files on the same page, starting with the LED icicle/meteor file which wont make much sense on its own until I get round to doing the project page and/or video for it.
This video is to show you how to download the PCB files and the software used to view and print them.
These files can be found at http://www.bigclive.com
The reason I use Abacom's Sprint Layout software is because it is simple and fast. It doesn't have the sophistication of larger programs like Eagle with their schematic-to-PCB functionality, but the Sprint software is well suited to my deliberately minimalist designs where I can just literally doodle a PCB and bang it straight to copper.
I also intend to put up some files for larger PCBs that I used to sell on my website, until the Royal Mail literally tripled their prices overnight, making it non-viable to ship them. (The UK government sold the publicly owned Royal Mail to their buddies to get a slice of the e-commerce pie.)

yep I'll find some sort of improvised housing for the pcb thanks for sharing ☺
hi Clive this is fantastic I've printed off the nixie lamp will this pcb fit into the 5 watt Poundstore led light ?
What's wrong with eagle and why are you pushing people to use a commercial software that is other than industry standard?
Woah, wait just a minute there.
That file extension… ".lay".
Big Clive is offering a good .lay for all takers, no charge, just go to his website?
Sadly being a Mac user these won't run on my iMac. I do plan on at least installing some version of Windows in VirtualBox.
Get this man to 100k sub pls
printer have copper /gold ink cartridges
can you please say…."R2….where have you been"
you sound like 3PO
Awesome info my friend. Many thanks.
Hi clive, in the "a" element in your code you could add the attribute download. This will bridge over the right click menu. +1 point for google
oh no, what's happened…. Darth Clive has taken control of the channel!!!
Right click playback devices, go to recording, double click your mic, go to advanced and change default format to CD quality or higher. Also disable all enhancements as someone else has said.
Holy shit Clive, your website looks like shit. Thought about tuning it up?
