The 3018 is not worth it specially since TwoTrees came out with the TTC450 which cost only US$370, the only time a 3018 would be a good buy is if you do not have the space. You will out grow a 3018 in such a small amount of time and will end up trying to upgrade it which in the long run will cost more than starting with a more capable desktop cnc. I took the 3018 path and will never endorse it even if it was given for free.
Heya! Thank you for the comment. Honestly I had not even known that TwoTrees existed. I have been looking at their products. There isn't a supplier direct here in the UK, but yes, their prices are insane! Thank you so much for sharing, it sounds like you didn't have a great experience with the 3018. What are you operating at the moment?
@MakerVibe I got sick, 2024 was not good to me. But I just ordered a TTC450 Pro. I bought my 3018 a few months after the pandemic and started playing around with it and got disappointed as it was not good enough to do what I wanted to work with, carbon fiber and aluminium.
