apalrdI've decided to make a secret thing (will be on video soon) using some vintage technology, and got the brilliant idea to pcb mill it
Uhh single sided layout is a nightmare

Is this a internet?
Is this a internet?
@EndlessMason well it speaks IPv6, so I guess that counts right?
@apalrd exponentially more tubes
wertzui@apalrd drc is not happy with u, also, were you limited by raw copper clad size or why are the components on the middle board so... quirky
Looks cool otherwise
Edit: ground plane might save you some milling time
@wertzu1 I'm limited by the footprint size not being larger than the 6 tubes, so it fits in the enclosure. I could move components to the esp board from the power board, but wanted to keep the boost converter and high side driver circuits compact and the current loop in the boost converter small.
drc is very unhappy yes, but I did go through all of the errors and confirm they will be fine. Most of the errors are silk screen or clearances around round parts. I'm using very large traces (mostly 0.5mm, some 0.35mm and 1mm) due to tolerances of the mill, and set the drc clearance rather high but also know if anything is too small the mill will remove it. A few are holes too small - many part library holes are 0.75mm and my drill is 0.8mm.
Federico Martinez@apalrd NTP Nixie Tube Clock?
@mtz_federico very close but not exact!
