    Ah, right enough. I remember destroying a $20 inkjet so I could feed PCBs through it.
    I stopped prototyping my own PCBs before I got into UV transfer or toner transfer. Its been a good many years

      One lab I was in used a CNC mill to route boards. It was pretty effective, and really great for custom geometry like encoders formed to the back of motors or boards doubling as structural components.

        I bought a 3d printer with an eye to get back into PCB fab… Either by swapping to a CNC head, or by printing plastic onto PCB.
        I just don’t make enough PCBs these days to justify the FAFF of making it work. Which is a shame. I bet if have a lot of fun
