Anyone have experience milling #PCBs on a cheap #cnc? I'm just getting started. I want to use #OpenSource software if possible and I'm thinking my workflow is #KiCAD to design then #FlatCAM to prepare the grbl code – but I'm open to other options if anyone has recommendations? #hobbycnc #cnc3018

It's not the highest quality work in the world, but I have engraved our three kitchen cutting boards with “vegetables,” “poultry” and “meat” respectively. #cnc #hobbycnc #cnc3018

Any #hobbycnc #cnc folks out there? I tried to carve the word “Crafts” into a cutting board using a 20° v-bit, but it left a lot of plastic crud behind. Am I going too slow? Too fast? Is using the world's cheapest #cnc3018 and the bits it came with not gonna cut it (ha!) for this? Should I simply run the job a second time? Let me know! Wood carving 📷 for comparison.

Whoohoo! Finally some progress on the #WhootCNC! X-axis mounts done.
