Hi folks,
A few years ago i achieved my degree in 3D Design and i want to start my own business printing my models off! unfortunately in Torbay there's not much call for a 3D Designer so I'm bricklaying/building for a living and I hate it!
I've been looking at the Chinese Manufactured CNC machines and noticed the quality is hit or miss but it looks like its all i can afford?!
I am after either an 8'x4' or 4'x4' with a 4 inch cut on the Z axis! (would like an 8x4. (need to build a new shed though :P)
I shall be cutting MDF, Wood! (picture frames, wall hangings, boxes, sculptures... ..etc...)
I want to start selling my things in local shops, ebay and car boot sales!
Needs to be 240v ran off a UK plug (or adapted to)
Budget so far for the machine is about £2,500 (excluding tax haulage.. ..etc)
What Machines have you had the BEST experence with?
Where to order from and what questions to ask?
What are the import costs into the uk? (tax, haulage)
Im not sure if this matters but i'm a big fan of linux/mac machines, so what software do you folks use?!
basically I need a goal so I stop spending and actually work to a deadline. :P
