Since talk has drifted to CNC, you can easily use this cheap North American unit (Waterloo, Canada) for plotting -- it's one of their demos. I'm tempted to get one for PCBs and other things. I'm not affiliated but the people behind this are great (and sometimes hiring): https://sienci.com/product/sienci-mill-one-kit-v3/ --Toby
