OK, let's play with the [[MaxNCMill]]? Workshop is scheduled for Friday 1/15/2010 at 6 PM. (Note that the mill is LOUD and it is highly unexcellent to run it during presentations or other things where people want to talk.) Friday is a good time as it's "shop class" night anyhow, so people should be expecting loud noises from the shop. [[User:Turkshead|Turkshead]] 22:16, 2 December 2009 (PST) Let's start with the basic toolchain for isolation-routing of PC boards. It's pretty similar to engraving once you get the GCODE. Depending on your interest, RTFM about [[MaxNCMill#DXF.2FQCAD |DXF ]] or [[ MaxNCMill#EagleCAD | Eaglecad (PCB) ]] or both at [[MaxNCMill]]. # [[User:mct|mct]] (both) # [[User:erikswedberg|erik swedberg]] (both) # [[User:turkshead|Shannon]] (both) # Moo (both) # Justin (both) # [[User:terpsichorean|terpsichorean]] (both) # Jonathan (both) # name here (DXF/PCB) You should show up with gcode ready to run, preferably verified on your own copy of AMC2/Axis. If you haven't already, read up on EMC2/Axis control software here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/content/view/5/5/lang,english/ If you want to try milling a PCB, I'm going to make you get your own .01 cutting tool as they are super-fragile. It's only $11, see [[MaxNCMill]] for how to get one from Small Parts/Amazon. I spotted a big stack of copper-clad PCB in the electronics area, hopefully we can use some of that. Otherwise bring your own material: scrap acrylic is perfect. A plastic called [http://www.gravograph.com/usa/Engraving%20Products/Indoor_Materials.php "Gravoply"] is good for signs -- you mill off the top layer revealing a colored layer underneath. TAP plastics has it but doesn't sell it retail (they want to charge you for the engraving service).
