I decided I needed a Circuit Playground and Circuit Playground Express render farm. Here’s the stand I made on the CNCÂ machine.
I designed it in Fusion 360 and then milled it with the Othermill Pro. First, I ran a pocket clearing pass.
Next, I ran a pencil pass to clear out the scooped out slots for the curvature of the boards.
These rough passes left behind a bit of material, as you can see here.
The final cleanup was a parallel pass with a fairly tight stepover, I ran it at 90 degrees from the stock, so it followed the grooves and had longer runs.
Here it is with a Circuit Playground Express nestled in it lovingly.
Here you’ll see some purple prototype boards, and the new red Circuit Playground Classic Digi-Key will be selling as part of the “buy one , give one” donation program for Girls Who Code
Here’s the full set, ready for various tutorials I’m working on with MakeCode, Arduino, and Circuit Python!
