Popped over from the 3d printer thread and was wondering if there were some current recommendations for a CNC wood carver. My dad's looking to dip into CNC and wants a workhorse to do projects sub 3x3ft. Is a shapoko 4 the way to go? He's pretty decent figuring out tech but I'd like to get him on the right path so he'll actually use the tool without having to fight with it all the time. I live relatively close by so I'm happy to set it up in my garage, tune the poo poo out of it, then surprise him

NewFatMike posted:For $1,500 and primarily wood projects, I’d say go for it. Cool, yeah he's a woodworker first and not a 3dprinting guy so probably a decent option If it was for me id probably do some DIY insanity myself

Slowly going insane in a software development career, and I've been slowly trying to angle my way into being a full-time hobbyist 3dprinter/maker/etc. Any recommendations for what I should be looking into re 3d modelling/cad training? I want to generally be able to design 3d models for my printers, and to be able to design stuff for a CNC machine/laser

What's the thread recommendation for vector design software? Looking to re-learn something more seriously after not really having touched illustrator for years and years. -Initially looking to design for a laser cutter, but I'm also in the process of building a CNC machine, and have a ton of 3d printers. -Idealy free or cheap. Not looking for a recurring monthly fee, ideally not looking to pirate -Dont want to corner myself into a weird app with no room to grow if I get better at it or more professional -Im also trying to pick up cad/3d- design so anything that interacts with that end of things would be great
