I've mulled about getting a CNC machine for several months.

Well I took a small plunge and ordered a Shaper Origin yesterday.

Yes, many will tell me this really isn't a substitute for a gantry still CNC, but I think for the small type of hobbyist/prototype stuff, I'd use a CNC for, this will hopefully fulfill my needs.

My biggest obstacle appears to be getting over the learning curve of Fusion 360.

So before this new toy arrives, I've got to spend some serious practicing actually trying to create my project files. It all seems easy watching YouTube videos, but I tend to hit a bit of a brick wall when trying to put it in practice.
