I had to modify some functions to make it work, and it doesn't support
poly fills, but I think it's not an issue if you mill a pcb.

Heh, their office is like five minutes from mine! I've been meaning to
swing by, haven't had time.
Of course,
Some of us local roboteers have been considering this unit but no one
has plunked down the money yet:

You could probably put together a CNC router capable of doing PCB's for
under US$1,000
Still personally I'd rather send PCB's out and s
I have heard of people using a regular CNC mill or mini mill like a
sherline. The real trick is to have a very fast spindle speed ~50,000
RPMS. I have a PCB mill that I built, but I still have to finish my
stepper motor drivers. The hardest part is the file conversion for
driving
The Fab Lab in Boston uses a Roland Modela MDX-20. There is
a python script that translates the gerber files that Eagle
creates into routing commands
(http://web.media.mit.edu/~neilg/fab/dist/cam.py).
I brought a couple of Gerber files (created with gEDA/PCB)
to try routing a board using the milli
I've been thinking for a while about CNC milling as a means of board
fabrication over chemical etching.
The limiting factor for the idea is cost. Every premade PCB mill I have found
has been well over $3000UAU.
One LPKF mill I found, which was advertised as their 'budget' model started at
$20,0
