Does anyone have any trace patterns to make boards for different 555 circuits?
I usually just solder all the components in a ball , its crude and ugly and conserves space but I would like to get away from that.

I take the leads, cut them to length and bend them to whatever component they go to, and solder them all together.
I am just looking for some pre-made patterns for common 555 circuits. I googled but didnt find any, thought maybe someone here had came up with some.

Why not study the 555 a bit and learn how to use its 3 basic modes:
Astable
Monostable
Bistable

If you learn how to use these 3 basic modes, You wont need to go surfing around forever looking for pre-made board outlines. Much easier learning how to use it and stuff. Go wo www.kpsec.freeuk.com and click on the 555 and 556 link. Teaches you a whole lot you would want to know! Helped me and some of my friends out consierably. I would also reccomend making circuits on perf boards, for example the ones you would get at a radioshack, but electronix express has the same ones radioshack uses but way cheaper!

Hope that helped some

Ive done many projects on perfboard, I dont really like it, I really want to make boards so the project looks clean, not that perfboard is not clean looking.

I don't think most people would etch a board for just a common 555 circuit, they are usually part of a larger project.

Which 555 circuits to you have in mind? I etch ridiculously simple boards all the time, for cosmetic reasons as you do. I'm in Manhattan Beach.

Any of the basic 555 circuits or blinking LEDs or whatever.
