Ric, what criteria did you use to select the Inventables instead of the Shapeoko, or Longmill, or something else? What supporting software are you using? Danl
August 11, 20223 yr Author fair amount was the price that i picked it up for, way less than half of another maker, i was looking at the two you mentioned also, as for software, i'm just now looking into it, trying to figure out what i can figure out. lol, i'm far from a technical guy with electronics, i can build multi story up and or down buildings, but when it comes to computers and such, i'm a little old school. But with this purchase i'm hoping it will open another huge avenue of exciting projects, i'm slow to get going , but as i progress will share, i have a couple weeks till i'm fully retired and have all the time in the world, once retired i'm planning on a long trip to visit friends and family in midwest, then back home to make it happen, as noted will share what how i progress, signing up for a five day course on cnc software, see how that goes. thanks for inquiring rj in az
