Instructions It is very easy to use, in summary: Turn it on. Run Metaza Studio. Put a piece of material to engrave in the machine in the centre. Clamp firmly. Polished aluminium works well but you can use any metal or plastic. Select material shape in Metaza Studio and set the size to match your actual material. Create your design, keep the material shape in the centre. Then click Print.

Don't touch it. This can be used to solder surface mount components on one side of a PCB. The temperature is set manually and there's a separate button for the hot plate. The basic process is to apply solder paste and your components to the PCB, then put it on the cold hot plate, set the temperature and turn on the heat. Wait for the solder to reflow, then turn off the heat and leave it to cool down. Generally, you want to put t… text/html 2025-12-20T15:44:26+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.bristolhackspace.org/equipment/electronics/pcbmill?rev=1766245466&do=diff PCB Mill - Bungard CCD/MTC CNC This equipment requires an induction prior to use.

This equipment produces toxic smoke. Use the extractor when soldering Safety Please clear up solder splashes/drops and wire clippings after soldering; that will reduce the chance of detritus causing shorts in equipment or projects, especially in
