How to print the plates ? #5

Hello,

First of all, thank you so much for open sourcing this project.

How should those files be used to produce the plates / case ?

I see that the case or the plates are in .ai format - how can those files be used for CNC machining ? Usually it requires extensions like STEP, IGES, SLDPRT, 3DM, IPT, SAT

Kicad allows to export in STEP format but when exporting, I get error message "Cannot determine the board outline" for file Lily58_Pro_BOTTOM.kicad_pcb.

Thanks !

After investigation, it seems ai file is proper for laser cutting. Closing the issue.
