It does seem like that! It's just so much more rigid and it has a lot of growth potential. I looked at MPCNC too, but it seems like everyone outgrows that as soon as they're done building it. It's worth putting in the extra $$$ upfront and just going this route.
@@evanlane1690 the big challenge is the price jump from the mpcnc of around 3-500 to the printnc around 900+ depending on steel cost in your area is pretty large mainly due to the linear rail and ball screw cost being quite high. I'd like a standard lead screw remix for intermediate progression.
@@BrandonWhipp Very true! Linear rails are coming down over the past decade, but yeah, a $750 price point would be great. Something that'll use the steel frame and upgradable gantry, but let people get in under $1k. Maybe kevlar belts instead of ball screws? Not sure. The build I'm looking at is priced out to about $1,500, and that's not accessible for a lot of people.
These were just test cuts to find what F&S work best in various steels when doing adaptive clearing, contouring requires different settings and would need its own set of test cuts
I'm starting to be convinced that printnc is the most capable diy setup.

You're a crazy man! Love it 😁
A stupid question but why milling all the material instead of cutting to the needed shape ?

@@threedesign8999 Thanks for the answer, I'am starting at CNC
Awesome!
Why always this shape?
Was just a test pattern, a mix of circular, adaptive slotting and rectangular
