Hello Fivetide
Love the avatar by the way!!
What's wrong with that - it looks great to me - looks like a classic OpenBuilds style machine
They have posh names for them like Cartesian and Sphinx and Piranha style builds
Some here would call them other names
That's a good build cost!
I also based mine on this kind of style - but you are 5 years in front of me!! (damn, i hope it does not take me that long?)
I personally would be interested to see how it mills and lasers - as i wanted both options as well!

Its only 5 years because its been boxed up half way through for 3years because of moving house, grand kids etc.,
I bought almost everything form Ali Express direct.
I wont be milling wood soon with it as I intend to make a box for it and have it in my computer room permanently. I don't want to be working in the shed with it in winter and I can do other stuff while it cuts.
And Ill probs upgrade to the 40x twin lens because I have a specific use for the cnc.

Let me know how you get on with the canopy Fivetide, as i was also thinking of going down that route as well.
I know the laser is quiet, but the fumes can (so i have read) be harmful.
Wood and manmade boards milling can be noisy and dusty -
So good extraction will be required in either instance.
Is there any risk of a fire if swapping from milling to laser?
You say you have a specific use for it - just being nosy and interested in what you are going to make with it?
Thanks
