i started this a few months back but it started with me buying a cheap $350 machine because i was curious what you could get for so little, and the short answer is not a whole lot but it inspired me to see what i could do taking what i liked from that machine and doing away with all the stuff i did not like and ended up with this machine. the cheap import does have the function to become a laser engraver so maybe at some point i will use it for that. but i just got things buttoned up to do a propper test on movement. so i figured i would share here.
