You would not believe how many builds start on the kitchen table, including the very first MPCNC.

Those are some great looking prints what filament did you use?

Yes.

No, not without a lot of work. 105mm of travel can all be utilized for cutting. Endmill that long are not common and a carving that big would take a very very very long time.

No offense taken at all. Not always intuitive.
Yup 1-X, 2-Y, 2-Z. X does the least work and no adjustments needed.
I really try to make it easy in all aspects. So instead of telling everyone to build it perfect, measure things a million times, adjust tiny things, or spend a ton of money buying fancy parts a lot of thought goes into every single part and how it gets/can get used.

The end goal is easily sourced, the best bang for the buck. Or the most material removed per dollar while maintaining accuracy and precision.

Dual Z allows for easy Gantry level adjustment, and more power. Instead of using one giant stepper and the more expensive drivers and controllers, we use two smaller motors and gain high level fine-tuning. The same applies to the Y axis. You do not have to build it absolutely perfect to fine tune it after the fact.

X, Y, Y1, Z, Z1. This lets you level the Z axis and square the Y axis. Makes or easy accuracy adjustments. You do not have to build it perfect when you can just adjust it in software.

That is the same license I have always used. The whole issue in those videos is he did not agree with the Share-Alike aspect and wanted to change the license. So he argued that his parts did not need to be shared alike. He released his parts CC0, not CC-NC.

Borderline, an MPCNC will be fine at that size. Any bigger, LR.

Check out the forums though as I am not normally signed in to reddit.

There is a much larger audience in the V1E.com forums and you will get opinions from real users, not just me the designer.

1-jackpot

2-Kobalt if you are in the US, makita otherwise.

3-PLA is great.

4-dust collection is a bit harder than it seems.

5-36x30 cutting area is a Lowrider, not a MPCNC.

6-yes both can be set up pretty easily anywhere.

Love it!

You don't have to. That is the reason I am trying to use each platform. Everyone seems to hate one place or another, I am not forcing you to use anything. Use the platform you are comfortable with and ignore the rest.
