I’m sooo looking forward to getting my XC built and running. It’s sooo much cheaper to make your own PCBs, especially when you want them in creative shapes. What bit and run rates did you use?
I have a rule in my PCB software to allow a 0.8mm gap between the tracks and the polygon pour so the tracks were done with a 0.8mm end mill, 0.4mm DOC and 200mm/min, the holes were milled using a 1mm contour router at a Z feed rate of 50mm/min.
The 3mm hole is not very round but overall I’m happy with it, the next one will be a bit more complicated so intend to use a 60° v bit.
Most of my designs are double-sided. I’ll have to figure out a micro-pin system so I can flip them to route the other side. You using standard FR4 board?
