This is the kind of stuff that gets people hurt. A 3D printed CNC is one thing, but you get your hands very close to the moving band saw blade. Making a printed, low infill table and throwing logs on it is incredibly dumb.

3D printing is great for lots of applications but wide flat sheets aren’t one of them.

As for me, the best sphere for 3D printing is creating figures for board games⠀⠀

I did print my blade guide because there is not too much space for another construction, but it is definitely not load bearing at all:

That’s the perfect application. A small, complex part used to tie everything together. Very cool. No danger of dismemberment!

My biggest concern with this would be the table / insert and you actually see in the video the board slams through it.

No thanks, I won’t be using that.
