Check out the CNC kit here: ebay.us/vIXy5l
So I've been into cnc (computer numerical control) stuff like 3d printing for quite awhile. I've cut my teeth on additive machines like plastic fdm and resin sla printers. More recently I got into subtractive manufacturing with my diode laser engraver/cutter. The next step in the learning process is cnc cutting/milling but the machines tend to be pretty big, dangerous and expensive.
That's where this kit I found comes in. The cut area is only 30x18 cm so the entire footprint is smaller than even my fdm's. Since it's pretty small it'll be easier for me to make an enclosure to make it safer. It also comes with an offline controller that connects to wifi and can run jobs saved to an sd card which will be very useful. Finally last but not least I found a kit that was on sale for just under $130! It was the perfect excuse for me to grab one to try out. In this video we assemble the machine and do a few test cuts to get a handle on the process. Let's hope everything goes well and I don't regret the time and money I've spent on it ...
