This is a video of my DIY milling of a single sided PCB (FR4 copper clad) using a CNC3018 PRO and laser etching the front fiberglass i.e. FR4 face using a 7W blue laser to mark components and values.

The back copper plane and front fiberglass face were processed using slightly different toolchains.

Note: The video was made over multiple milling attempts using different sized vbits. The final PCB shown was made using a 30° 0.1mm Vbit whereas the milling footage is using a 30° 0.2mm Vbit.
