Ask HN: Favorite hobby cnc
Hi all,
Last night I finally got my new probotix cnc up and running. Anyone else have a hobby cnc? What type? Why’d you chose that one?
- matt_the_bass 8y agoI’ll start off. I chose a probotix brand machine because I didn’t want to assembly myself. I wanted the hobby to be making projects, not building the machine.
- codeonfire 8y ago7x26 mill. I want metal parts. I guess gantry style router makes sense if you want to make cabinets or signs or something. I did not want to deal with sawdust and don't want to make anything out of plywood that I couldn't with a saw.
- matt_the_bass 8y agoWhat types of parts are you making? I’m mostly making 2.5D wood projects with carving. Occasionally 3D carving.
- codeonfire 8y agoMaking more cnc parts, 4th axis, 5 axis trunnion, and a larger mill kit.
