Today I finally milled the base (cradle) for the Stonehenge project out of brass.
The toolpaths were done in #FreeCAD
It is so much nicer than the aluminium part, the weight is quite different.

I will bring one to the combined #kicad and #freecad booth on #fossdem

For one piece I failed to properly set the origin of the USB-C port hole. Quite disappointing. But OTOH, that's why I made two.

As described, the top part has a fucked up hole for the USB port.

@3nt3 we have a CNC mill in the CCCAC. More like a toy, but sure good enough for this job.
