Prusa 3D i3 MK2S pen holder for PCB production
PCB production:

Design board in Eagle
Export as HPGL file
File -> CAM Processor:
Device: HPGL, Mirror, pos. Coord

Process the HPGL file in ThmqGCU.js to generate the G-code.
Import local file
Save code
Do not check Interpolate Arcs by Lines - it needs to be done in the next step - checking this will not produce correct result.
Also don't check Skip redundant G-codes - Prusa printer won't be able to interpret correctly

Process the G-code with Lua script https://github.com/vsky279/PCB_on_3d-printer/blob/master/reprap-prepare.lua.

This sets new origins of the printer. Interpolates arcs (G3 command) and shifts coordinates to positive area if it's not the case already.
Manualy move the printer to left-down corner of the PCB board
Run the G-code
