Help needed for milling single axis test board #13

JensDyvik commented 6 years ago

We have the production DXF ready for a single axis board here. Kicad source is also in the repo.

Does @tingox or @Jaknil have the opportunity to mill this at bitraf?

The board is single sided and designed for 0.4mm or smaller milling bits. PCB stock can be found in bitmart.

The goal with this board is to:

there are free slots (in the booking calendar) this week, but I have no experience milling PCB's, so I would need help from someone with experience.

I haven't milled PCBs either (just watched @JensDyvik do it :) ), but I'm sure we can figure out a decent strategy together on Monday, unless @Jaknil has time this week.

@martinpartin and I tested milling this board on Hattori at Bitraf last night (Support: @jaknil). It didn't end up as a success, but we learned a lot. The results from the test are in a directory in the 'testing' directory in this repository.

Using random bits lying around was probably not a recipe for success (nor was using a rather well used spoil board). :)

We have a specific tool for this in Bitmart BTW, the Isolation Engraving bit which combines a tiny V-bit with a short straight flute.
