Which cnc? I want to get one but I just need a desktop one and am trying to figure out how much I want to spend.
This was made on a 3018 pro with a bed extension. It took a lot of extra cuts and time since I could only make a few tiles at a time. It's an alright starter cnc for small projects. Since then I've upgraded to a openbuild 1515
Would you recommend a 3018 pro for a beginner? I just want to do some smaller things but have a few small soft metal things. I just don’t want to spend $2,000 for a 50x50 machine when I want to try a few small things.
