    Overall it's a pretty impressive "little" machine. I think it gives you most of what you need for most small projects. I'd be remiss if I didn't say though that for a couple grand more (yes I realize thats 2.5x the price of this) you can get a 4x4 cnc machine with much bigger tooling capabilities, more speed, etc. That said, those take up a lot more room as well and eat up more power too. So for a starter cnc project maker, this is pretty slick.

    perhaps it would have been worth the money if it weren’t for the round shafts (not rails!!) on the y-axis. the mechanism on the x is like cardboard bent and glued to a screw. If someone gave me something like this, I wouldn’t refuse it, but I definitely wouldn’t buy it.

    • @techydiy
      @techydiy Před 5 dny

      Given that they are very soft metals, my guess is that it would be better to machine a mould and then cast silver and gold. It could certainly machine the mould (mold), and the time it took would depend on the size and the detail.

    Wow! That was such a great video! I will search for the latest Ortur Master and a few accessories. Which laser head do you recommend to start? Should I get two when ordering? Do you recommend any other accessories? I've seen some people use colored tissue paper (using water or vegetable oil) to hold it on glass. What do you think?
