Hi, I designed one myself. There are several pcb manufacterers over here (area around eindhoven, the Dutch silicon valley with Philips, ASML etc.) that can make a flox foil. You can design it with a normal pcb desing progam (I used Ultiboard). And you can let the pcb manufacterer make a foil of it. But it is not cheap. There are some extra setup costs involved. I checked your website, this seems to be a hobby so probably has to stay cheap: If you only make one device for your testing, you can also build it 3D, thinking about it carefully and soldering the parts together without a board. And in 3D, when you really make it 3D, the parts will make the whole thing strong enough. Remember that in the tube age there were no boards? But they mainly worked 2D.
