[chbot] 'Printing' an enclosure

Re: 'Printing' an enclosure

A good way to do case lids is cut them in a laser cutter. I normally 
laser cut a lid holder first that I can place 1 to "N" number of lids 
into the holder for perfect alignment.

Having both a 3d printer and laser cutter I can say the laser cutter 
does the job about 100x faster, but if you have a 3d printer then that 
works great for low volume.

I made a simple PCB in the laser cutter last week. It even laser drilled 
the holes and did a nice job of the solder mask too.
