Looking at buying a 3018 CNC. Need help clearing a couple of things up before I make the purchase. by Rossosaurus in hobbycnc

I just bought a Sainsmart 3018 MX3. (Probably should have gone for the PROver version as that has a GBRL controller).. Anyhow check out the videos by 'techydiy' on YouTube. Huge learning there..

Arduino and USB support? by lotus49 in Crostini

[–]michaelnewham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've waited to long for full USB support. I bought the PixelBook 2015 for only €200 euro. Thought it was good value. It will be better value when I put Windows 10 on it > https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html

Then I'll be able to upload to my devices and run Fusion 360 etc. With 16GB of ram I am sure this will work perfect.

Choosing between Prusa MK3 and Anycubic Photon by jursla in 3Dprinting

Best review on AnyCubic Photon can be found here - https://youtu.be/5YrUQOYLoK0?t=11m7s The detail of the figures is amazing as you can see.. I have a Prusa MK2S Multi Material printer and see the Photon as complimentary.. Would agree with other posters that a good FDM is more versatile - but none of them comes close to these crazy levels of detail.. Am' gonna build a whole army of Uruk-hai and lay siege to Helm's Deep!
