This is REALTIME how long it takes me to make a DIY PCB (18 mins) from cutting the FR4 to ready to drill (ok my camera said the battery was dead)

@RueNahcMohr 👍

It's interesting that the plotter doesn't draw the outer shape as a rectangle. CNC would make a closed contour in its place, wouldn't it? 🤔

@yrabbit its cad' as really wide traces. I don''t know if this software supports shapes.

@RueNahcMohr That's awesome. I have a bunch of copper clad boards and ferric chloride, but I never got around to etching my own boards. I'm sure I could throw an etch resist pen in my 3D printer to do that. I like that plotter though!

@sconient The weight of the pen is about all the pressure you want on it!
