If you want to have one of these macropads, you can buy an assembled macropads directly from me via my lectronz store, or get a kit from your preferred vendor.

This is a laser-cut vacuum table for SMT stencil application, heavily inspired by the designs of Marius Heier and UnexpectedMaker:

Both of these projects looked really promising to me and the design files are readily available, but I needed mine to be very big to make keyboard-sized PCBs. It's possible to print parts that big on a 3d printer, but it just takes way too long and I didn't want to go through that proces just to find out some tolerances weren't quite right etc.

This project is still WIP, it works already but there's some things I'd like to improve.

Demonstration of the manual steps involved in milling a single-sided PCB using a CNC milling machine.

Recorded for and at the FabLab UniTrento.

The board was designed in KiCAD and the toolpaths for the milling operations were generated using mods CE. The drilling operation was handled in Fusion 360.

Sorry for the video quality / focus issues - this was all shot on my phone because I didn't have my camera with me. Hope it's still interesting to some 😃

This is my final project for the FabAcademy 2020 cycle. I worked on this project for about eight months, after spending another four learning and practicing many fabrication techniques.

You can find more information on the project, including documentation of the development process, schematics and CAD models, on the project page and in the following forum thread:
