Cakefool posted:As this seems to have become the defacto cnc thread, has anyone heard good or bad things about the shapeoko 2 kits? They look easily upgradeable and flexible in size, but I wonder how rigid they stay at larger frame sizes. I'd also love to hear any experiences people have had with shapeoko kits. I've been thinking about getting one for some woodworking and possibly making some aluminum parts, but I'm skeptical they're as good as they sound.

Novo posted:is this really the consensus? can you elaborate? Yeah, sorry, maybe not the most helpful answer. The Shapeoko 3 is much more mechanically robust. If you're at all interested in cutting metal its improved rigidity would make your life much easier. Working with wood or plastic, though, I doubt there would be any observable performance difference between the two. The X-Carve is almost certainly a better buying experience, and as it's nearly component-for-component compatible with the Shapeoko 2, there is a big ol' pile of knowledge and upgrades out there. Inventables is pretty great. The only complaint I have is that their forum is ugly garbage for ugly babies. Which is truly more better? Only you can decide.
