    I looked but confused. Between the kits and the finished models there is not much info, unless you want to waste time watching a video. Models and prices are separated on the website.

    Yep. Me too. The web page looks very Chinese lots of bright colors, bold fonts, bad english and exclamation points galore.

    Still, I am intrigued.

    Seems a good idea. One XYZ base that will accept router, laser, 3D printer, etc.

    Must be a holdover from my old Shopsmith days....

    One xyz base that doesn't do anything really good and all three mediocre

    I did the CNC router -> 3D printer conversion on my Shapeoko 2 --- it works, but it's a real pain to clean the machine up after routing so as to be clean enough to do 3D printing.

    Far easier to have two separate machines --- a 3D printer wants to be light, fast, and suited in scale to the size of the extruder, while even a CNC router wants to be massive, deliberate, and as large as possible.

    The website looks like it was designed by that famous circus owner, P. T. Barnum. It had a net negative effect on me.
