I believe consumer CNC’s can be made larger and more capable, for cheaper. A design for this is close to being finalized for a machine dubbed the E7; she’s remarkably capable and has a larger build volume than the Shapoko 3 for much less than half the cost. Before we go any further, I could use some feedback from the community on the concept of an affordable CNC.
