I just ran across these pictures from my last #shure prototype. This was an #rf #pll board. We needed a shield and I decided we could use #kicad and some brass sheet stock from #mcmaster to build a custom shield. I drew it in kicad on the am and had a shield cut on the #laser #lpkf machine in our #Niles #illinois office by afternoon and I bent and soldered it straight away. #electronics #freecad
