The Next Generation! What should the next MPCNC look like? I want to air out a laundry list of features and benefits people would want in this next version. Possibly to inspire Ryan to motor towards something that fits in with the ecosystem we have now. The Primo was made before the LR4 (before th…

Easier to pick one and go from there.

I just wanted to call out how well this summarizes things. Well said! :cowboy_hat_face:

[image] Ryan: Or a extremely competitively priced metal mill, that obviously can do it all in a smaller volume. This. Assuming we mean more than just the flat aluminum that the LR3/4 can do already. Something that could do thicker aluminum and steel would be REAL nice!

I agree. I think these are two different machines. The MPCNC is the gateway, so probably deserves your attention first. It’s already so refined, I’m very interested in how the ideas come to life. I also think there would be excitement for a V1 Mill. Perhaps this could even be intended to be bui…

I’m excited to see how many people like the idea of a mill for metal!

[image] Neat! Random or Off Topic Maybe a mini desktop mill belongs in the V1 portfolio. I keep seeing all these little ones come up now. I’m probably just ad targeted. It only needs to be big enough to mill the M3DP parts. Would it be better enough at aluminum / other m…

It seems to me that the dedicated metal milling space is a lot more congested and there are a much larger number of people who have taken a stab at it in different ways. That makes me wonder if it’s less likely that there are truly innovative solutions to be developed there or if it becomes just an…

Yeah, the $2500 mark meets all the criteria for the original post, and I am confident that price would be very hard to match, let alone beat. I have a phobia of expensive projects so a more beginner focused build of some sort seems to fit the ecosystem better to me as well. This thread has had my b…

[image] vicious1: Or a extremely competitively priced metal mill, that obviously can do it all in a smaller volume. This is the direction I would like to see the MPCNC go as well, but that would perhaps price out some of the newcomers to the hobby. That being said, the LR4 is still an incred…

I guess we don’t need to make M3DP parts though. We need a project to use the mill.
