I was fortunate enough to acquire a Makera Carvera CNC milling machine. My interest in the Carvera is for small-scale manufacturing of circuit boards. While not quite as easy (yet!) as my old OtherMill CNC machine, I really like the automatic tool-changing capability, larger work surface, 4th axis capability, and the multiple materials that can be milled. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos, IG posts, and Discord chats to bash together an initial, satisfactory workflow to go from designing a circuit board in Flux.ai to laying out the toolpaths in CopperCAM, and finally milling the board with the Makera Carvera Controller app via gcode. Hope this helps, and constructive feedback is always appreciated! Check back often for revisions!
