I've definitely done some research into a few different manners of making my own PCBs, but I'm trying to find the right balance of doing things myself vs. time/cost associated. Since the majority of the PCB learning is going to be around KiCad, and I'll just be able to send the files along with $15 off to oshpark and get perfect boards in a week or two, it's hard to start the investment of fully custom boards.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Since it's just KiCAD and then you can get boards for cheap, why is it hard to start the investment?

  Sorry, when I saw fully custom I mean printing designs on photo paper and doing the chemical, as opposed to just having oshpark print them.

    Oh, no, that's too much hassle, I meant KiCAD instead of perfboard.
