The difference between a 3d printer and a CNC machine isn''t that much. The only real reason a CNC machine costs more is because without a beefier frame your cutting speed will be absolute shit since it can take less torque, but still possible if time isn't a factor. Add on 2-300 bucks to the cost of a 3d printer and those problems goes away though and you have a very capable cnc machine. If you can figure out how to use your own 3d printer at home then you can do the same thing with a CNC machine.
