Milling your own plates
« on: Fri, 04 December 2020, 08:58:11 »
I and currently building my CNC (finally got time after these home updates got done) and my goal was to create a full size and TKL + Numpad Apple M3501. I plan on handwiring the first few boards while I learn KiCAD and hopefully would like to create a blank PCB that can have a teensy soldered on rather than a production board.

Does anyone create their own CNC and build their own custom or prototype boards? If so, what tools do you use to design/create the plates? My Thought was to create plates 100% in Fusion360 and use that as the CAD and CAM program.

Fusion 360 is good, there's lots of tutorials online that will help you out. And it has built in CAM software that will allow you to export tool paths and g-code to your cnc milling machine.
