My final project is a 3-axis CNC milling machine that costs less than $100 (currently $87) to build. It can mill PCBs, wood,
and even mild steel.
These PCBs were milled using the machine. The traces are 10-15 mils. The left and lower right boards were milled at
approximately the same speed as the Modela. The upper right board was milled at a speed approximately 50% higher than
that of the Modella. This possible in part due to the Mantis MTM's increased spindle speed, about 20,000 rpm.

Some more test pieces: MDO and mild steel with a 1/32 inch mill on the left, wax with a 1/8 mill on the right.
Design
My design was heavily influnced by Johnathan Ward's MTM-AZ, although it shares no common parts with his machine. It
has a MDO framework that supports an overhead Y,Z zxis gantry above the bed (X axis). All three axes ride on precision
steel rods and are manipulated by stepper driven lead screws. The working volume is currently 6x4x1.25 inches.
