height map for PCB #1185

Closed Zdenekr closed 1 year ago

Zdenekr commented 1 year ago

Hello, i use candle to make pcb and i started to make pcb with metallized holes. First I drill all the holes, do the plating and then I need to mill the paths. For that I need a height map. Sometimes I hit a hole while scanning and the map is corrupted. Is there any way to scan the bond paths outside the holes? Thank you for answer. Regards Zdenek

I would try a probe with a flat base of a larger diameter than the holes first and see how that goes.

Just an idea, not necessarily a good one.

I would love to know your process for plating through holes.

Would you care to share?
