<br>
I talked on Slack with Nate Argetsinger who brought in the Quick Circuit 5000<br>
(in Sparkleforge) and he says he's working on it to make it into something.<br>
<br>
Someone suggested that since Noisebridge is not using the MaxNC milling machine<br>
now that it has the Othermill, i should ask about taking the MaxNC to Sudoroom.<br>
<br>
this is the machine in question:<br>
<a href="https://noisebridge.net/wiki/MaxNCMill" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://noisebridge.net/wiki/M<wbr>axNCMill</a><br>
<br>
Does anyone have anything to say about that? I have already asked on slack on<br>

Hi noisebridge,<br>
<br>
I noticed you have a Quick Circuit 5000 circuitboard etcher in the SparkleForge<br>
machine shop, along with some homemade breadboard electronics to drive it.<br>
<br>
Seeing as you already have an Othermill set up to mill circuitboards, i'm not<br>
surprised nobody has set up this machine, and it might be a challenge to do so.<br>
<br>
I would like to borrow the machine over to sudoroom, and set it up there so<br>
that both hackerspaces have a good way to mill circuitboards. Presently<br>
sudoroom only has a really crappy MyDIYCNC machine which is unbelievably<br>
horrible. It's like a crappy plastic dremel attached to a milk crate with<br>
zip-ties and is definitely not usable for carving circuitboards (we've tried)<br>
<br>
By the way, people should know that Sudoroom now has a CHMT-36 pick&place<br>
machine which actually works, so it's a great place to come to assemble your<br>
boards robotically. Soon we'll have a 3D printer set up with a solder paste<br>
dispenser for that step.<br>
<br>
so Noisebridge, what do you say about the Quick Circuit 5000?<br>
<br>
