Both your single sided and this double sided video are very clear and easy to follow. Mega thanks for your help in getting me started!

That is so clear. Great tutorial, no silly or annoying music. Just good honest information at an understandable pace. Thanks for your efforts!

Nicely done. Navigating thru the menus takes a little time as a novice. Thanks again

That was a REALLY good tutorial. Quite simple, and no extra "speaking": )

Awesome finally someone who explains it clearly

Thank you! Amazing video. Love the 4 pins to locate the PCB, so simple but I was scratching my head trying to think how to get repeatable board location. TY!

Thank so Much! I have a 3018 Prover Mach3 so your video is perfect! I wish I could find an Autoleveller instruction for Mach3 as well made! Thanks again! You have made a wonderful procedure for a pretty complicated process!

This was the video that iam looking for thanks dude👍❤❤

Incredible amazing video, just what I was looking for, excellent tricks and tips. Thanks.

You helped me a lot, thanks for the video

As usual, this is another great video mate, kudos !!

Super video! Are you planning to make a demonstration video about GRBL / Candle? In vain did I make a map, unfortunately I did not feel that this would follow the surveyed irregularities. Thanks!

Thanks, clear tutoring!

just awesome , thanks , wonderful explanation

Thank you for sharing.

Hi Great video how about one to clean up solder mask? With the cnc of course that is a challenge!

Excellent!

Are you using Tungsten Carbide 2 Flutes Ball Nose End Mills to drill the holes in the PCB?

How do you contact the vias though? I've been looking for methods for a while now

Can we do 6 mil (0.15mm) trace width with this CNC machine ?

Hi there, I have the problem that the holes in the Excellon file do not match the pads. The holes are very far away. Why is that? I use EAGLE to create the boards and the G-codes.

I have Flatcam version 8.994 BETA and the menu is different from yours. Such as setting the *Milling Geometry* at about 8:30 in the video. It isn't there. I have found several things in completely different areas of the software so far. Not so easy to follow along as I hoped. I may need to find it and install that version 😕

How did you select the gerber file in group icant

Do you have any advice on how to hold down the board, do I need double-sided tape and does it need to be stiff? I set up just two alignment pins for my layout 85mm apart for a 10x7 cm board stock, but they were very tight, and I used two of the regular clamps provided with the 3018 kit just outside of the pins. Now I do the isolation run using the tips they sent with the kit and I'm not getting cutting (it's hardly even scratching the surface), it's apparently just pushing the board down (I guess it's convex), or else the tip I'm using is soft or not pointed enough. Some people are saying "do autolevelling" but I don't seem to be cutting at all, that wouldn't even address the problem! I did try those "nano blue" tips and they WERE cutting but the routes they were cutting were so wide the traces were completely "washed out" (the isolation routes from either side were touching each other) and when I looked closely at the tips they had TWO points with a gap between and weren't anywhere NEAR 0.1mm as advertised. So the problems I'm having are basically with the mechanical setup NOT the software, part of it is tip selection and part is holddown, the milling and drilling stuff seems to work just as advertised. Am I getting in trouble with "too tight" a fit on the pins so it could be bending the board a little? Could you do a UKposts addressing these challenges, or do you know of one or a webpage? I really need to isolate these issues from one another and start making progress...

Mil gracias.

Cool, thanks :)

Hi. Thank you for the tutorial. Very useful. This is unfortunate that you did not show the end result. You might elect to add it to your present video and republish . Thank you again. Regards, RJM

Hi, Thank you for your great video. I am almost ready to mill my first 2sided pcb now. I have a question though. I can generate a height map, but, how do I apply it to the gcode created by Flatcam?

Great video. However I have two questions. 1. I would like to have the alignment pins located within the finished circuit board. This would allow me double purpose the holes for mounting screws. Assuming this can be done, and will test later. Are there any potential problems I should be concerned about in doing this?? 2. I would like to partially mill the tabs that hold the circuit board to the larger board material. How can this be done. 3. Bonus question ;) What are your thoughts on the term Milled Circuit Board (MCB)? My pedantry haunts me.

Hi, very nice video. I have a question. The home position of my CNC is the upper right corner and my PCB as the zero origine in the bottom left corner. I'm new at this. Do you have a video where we can see how to position the start position for the top layer and then the bottom layer ? I'm not talking about the alignment holes that's ok but I need to make sure the cnc knows where to start after I flip the board.

Are you working on linux or windows

Having cut holes for the connections between the layers, how would you recommend actually constructing the vias?

I get this error when loading *.drl [error] No geometry found in file, how can I fix it ?thanks

Great video. But i couldn't follow? Which version of flatcam do you use? 8.5 have no such options? Can you privide link to letest realese?

Never explained how to mill the position holes. CAn it all be done in Flatcam or do I need to create a GBR file with the holes first in CAD?

Do you think that a LowRider v3 can make PCBs just as good as in your video?

Where do you get the double sided copper board please I can only find singles not doubles

Should all holes be drill first? In worst case top layer will be good

what the minimum track thickness can you get with cnc method?

4:47 make ref hole

The interface in the latest is totally different so its so difficult to follow 😫😫

Great video! One thing is missing... You've never showed the steps to creat the HeatMap.

Why did you not show how to do the height mapping? It's a critical part of this and you just glossed over it.
