Outline:

    - Hardware Notes:
        - worthless side shields on 3018ProVer
        - limit switches seem mandatory for candle
    - Software Chain Notes:
        - talk about final pcb2gcode settings that work
        - grbl:
            - gcode reference: https://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html
            - quick reference: https://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode.html
            - https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki
        - candle2:
            - losing work coordinates
            - G28 and G28.1 grbl commands
                - turn off command autocomplete when using G28.1 :(
            - set coordinate system to work size
            - z-height probing w/ interpolation
                - don't forget to apply the map :/
                - don't forget to save the map, gets lost when switching jobs
            - adjust cutting depth if needed using the coord system z-offset
            - don't use pendant while controlling with PC!
    - Physical Setup Notes:
        - double-sided tape
        - spoilboard
        - apply soldermask before drilling to avoid painting leaking through holes!
        - using multiple sheet to spread solder-mask
        - clean surface!
        - uv-curing ~5-10min depending on lighting and thickness
