I make my pcbs cutting by hand, I definitely need to build this cnc machine. Great idea.

[@electronicsandinventions5919]

You should!

[@petermuller608]

Nice idea! Would have preferred having warnings with regards to the materials used. Some of those sheets contain materials which release quite nastiy fumes when laser cut

[@electronicsandinventions5919]

Thank you for the note

[@andrericardobarbozapereira]

Your video is super cool, I've always wanted to make plates like this, could you send me the project of your CNC laser or make a video of how you assembled it, the software you use and the program to convert the drawing into gcode?

[@electronicsandinventions5919]

Thank you, The program used for drawing the circuit is PCB Wizard and the program used to change the drawing to G-code and to control the CNC is Benbox Laser Engraver. A homemade CNC video is on the list of future projects, and I will make a detailed video later on.

That's the way i do too

Thanks for your video. What Speed and Powersettings did you use for your 1,5W laser?

[@electronicsandinventions5919]

Speed 80 , full power. It also depends on the thickness of the sticker laminating tape. it is better to try your setting on a small sample before starting your pcb. Maybe you need different settings. Best Regards

[@jmsian3505]

thank you for posting. what is the sticker made of?

[@electronicsandinventions5919]

Normal self-adhesive laminating sheets

[@stevepreskitt283]

Great idea, but be absolutely sure the self-adhesive sheet isn't made from PVC or other chlorine-containing polymer. Laser cutting PVC and similar materials will release chlorine gas (which is not good for you), and also gaseous hydrochloric acid (which is not good for either you or the cutter). Even with sufficient venting, these by-products can be harmful to you and your equipment.

Thank you for the notes

They don't make these sheets out of granola and quinoa

👍

How much is the machine?

[@electronicsandinventions5919]

It's better to build the CNC by yourself, a new one, I think around 100~150 $
