Last year I made myself a MPCNC router, and it has sat idle ever since. I have now used it 'in anger' for the first time to surface the back of the uke mould. It was a bit terrifying, but it worked as expected and didn't crash!
My toolchain is to start with a drawing in Inkscape and export as a .svg file. This is imported into ESTLCAM to work out the toolpath (Gcode), and then Repetier Host is used to control the MPCNC on a RAMPs board.
I hope to use this setup to prepare moulds and templates, and maybe to try and carve backs and fronts.
