I’m not going to guess on their rigidity or anything. Honestly just having a cnc machine is a big step over not having one. So it doesn’t really matter on an entry level machine.
I don’t really like this call to action. You may not believe it, but I prefer you get the machine that works best for you. If my words convince you to get an MPCNC and that was the wrong choice for you, then I will feel worse.
I think most people feel the same. Even Ryan isn’t making enough money on one kit to compromise his morals.
Some things I would point out though:
- Even if it is not a kit like the MPCNC, it does require a lot of effort to learn to run any cnc machine. They are not inkjet printers. Ve prepared to turn your brain into a sponge and waste a lot of materials while you are learning.
- The work space is only 16"x16"x2". That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But it is smaller than most mpcncs.
- If something breaks, or bends, or snaps, can you fix it? If you wanted to swap to 10mm belts, can you do that? The MPCNC is completely flexible and if you look through the builds section, you will see a lot of mods.
The best argument for an MPCNC is the gallery-mpcnc. But please, get the machine that is right for you. The V1 machines do require learning. They do require some work to build and tune.
