PCB Making plotter/drill only 100x150mm. Any ideas?

$

Hi,
I am in need of a cnc machine to do pen plotting/scraping, cnc drilling, and maybe light milling with a Dremel.
The PCB's I need to make will only be 100 x 150 mm max.
Any ideas please?
I can use a 3d printer, but the z axis movement need be small, so it would be a waste to get a complete 3d printer. Accuracy is important, especially if scraping is used, because multiple passes will be done.
Please point me to a reasonably priced solution.
Thank you
Johan Smit

leveling doesn't stay level

Not sure where this problem is coming from... I have two 1/2" layers of MDF (1200x1200mm) that I have screwed together and leveled. I shellac the leveled area so that my spray adhesive has better grip than raw MDF. Within 24 hours, different locations within a 24x24" area can vary by a whole millimeter.
I'm cutting .025 aluminum sheet. So, that much variation is a problem. Is MDF easily effected by humidity change? Suggestions sincerely appreciated.

How to mark a build as "liked"

Hello all,
I'm a new member to this forum. Silly question, but I can't seem to figure out how to mark a build as "liked". I've clicked on the little heart icon for the build, but this just shows who has already liked the build. I'm sure I'm missing something very basic here, but it's not intuitive to me. A little help?

Belt slipping fix

I have just incorporated a fix to the problem I was having with a belt jumping teeth on my new 3d printer build.

I decided to take 2 standard skateboard bearings and mount them on the bolts used to attach the Nema 17 motor. This meant that I needed a bushing to adapt the 3mm bolt to the 5/16" hole in the bearing and create a standoff distance of 1/4" from the mounting plate. I used 2 bearings and a connector plate to stabilize the 3mm bolts. This works great as is doesn't add too much...

Thanks in advance for any help that is provided :)

Help please,

I am trying to cut some table center pieces for a club meeting this weekend and Sketch U Cam is not creating the G-Code for the out side of the dog. All other G-Code seems to be in place.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Lew
