Thank you. I too have been looking at one of these for PCB milling. Do you mind sharing the kinds of boards you have created with it? Are any of them KiCad projects on GitHub?

They're not, I wasn't focused on documenting when I created them. I'll be sure to add that to the list of things to share :) But here is an image of an SOIC-20 I milled. https://pasteboard.co/HX2z3EN.jpg

The short version of the workflow is: FlatCAM to convert gerbers to gcode then CNCjs on an orange pi zero to stream the gcode to the CNC.
