Tiny CoreXY PCB mill! (that actually works) #makemunich
A custom, minuscule CNC made just to mill PCBs with the best precision possible.
Make custom PCBs with the Sienci CNC and FlatCAM!
I’ve always wanted to make my own PCBs – and with a CNC machine, a few tool bits and a few pieces of software it’s actually a super fast and straightforward process! In this video, I show how I used Eagle and FlatCam to create an isolation-routed circuit board on the Sienci Mill One, complete with a milled-out contour and all holes drilled.

Why 3D printers can’t be CNC mills
Hey, how’s it going, everyone? Have you ever wondered why 3D printers and actual CNC machines seem to be so similar, but rarely you ever see anyone successfully using a 3D printer as a milling machine and vice-versa?

Live: Retrying the Sienci Mill One!
The last stream on the $399 Sienci Mill One ended, uhm… abruptly. Let’s try again and get this thing milling!

CNC mill built from a 3D Printer!
Want a CNC mill, but only have a 3D printer? Well, if it’s sufficiently overbuilt you can convert it for less than $100!
