The CNC Mill Carvey can be used to manafacture PCBs, enclosures and other parts from various materials.

PCB Milling

To mill PCBs with Carvey you either draw the board using Eagle and generate GCode or draw the board using Illustrator and upload an SVG file. We will use the third party tool to PCB-GCode to generate GCode directly from Eagle.

GCode Generation

  1. Download the latest release from the website or directly from here.
  2. Unpack the archive to your disk. 
  3. Add the directory to Eagle's ULP directory list.
  4. Execute the command "run pcb-gcode-setup".
  5. Select the "generic" profile.
  6. Change all settings to match the below pictures.
  7. Press "Accept and make my board".
  8. The generate gcode file should be located next to your project files.


Milling

  1. Offset the GCode file (https://github.com/256dpi/gcode)
  2. Upload the GCode to Easel.
  3. Carve!
