Even though I love 3d-printing, and designing/building machines, I would not build a small CNC like that from scratch. Since you get better machines for <200 USD that runs open source firmware (grbl) out of the box. Recently got one of them for PCB milling, a CNC 3018 Pro


I've been eyeballing the CNC 3018 Pro for a few weeks now. I would appropriate any input you have on the device. Pros/cons/alternatives I should look at. Anything!


If you've the budget for it, a Shapeoko3 is way more capable.

Please share your experience. This CNC 3018 Pro looks like a compelling option. I don't see many reviews on them that focus on open source tooling.
