![]() If that’s all one wants they can even use it this way for a while. It should be fine for through-hole projects. Who wants to spend the money for a good quality tool when it’s for a untested project? Instead we can perform this conversion with a Dremel first. Posted in 3d Printer hacks Tagged 3d printer, CNC mill, PCB milling Post navigation We’ve featured a few similar conversions before, such as this vintage conversion of a Makerbot and this cheap engraver conversion, but this one is much more detailed than those, covering the entire process from PCB design to final product. These are then fed to the 3D printer and cut in turn with an appropriate milling bit on the Dremel. That’s one for each side of the PCB, one for through holes and one for the final outline of the PCB. ![]() ![]() The excellent write-up that did on this hack describes how he converted the printer, and how he took an EagleCAD design and converted it into four GCode files. The result is an impressive PCB milling machine that can do double-sided PCBs and make through holes. This approach means that the adaptations to the printer are minimal: the only hardware is a 3D-printed holder for the Dremel that replaces the print head. That’s the basis of this neat hack by, who converted an Anet A8 3D printer into a PCB miller by building a holder for a Dremel rotary tool and adapting the GCode. ![]() Got a 3D printer? With a bit of work, you may also have a PCB miller.
