Mat (notenoughtech)Todayβs TechDrop is heavy π
Unboxing the #Makera #CarveraAir.
Now the real question: can it produce parts worthy of professional automation?
Challenge accepted.

Some parts were hurt during this test.
The clamp on the right has a cut through it that the one on the left does not.
The bit also decided to ram itself into a flat metal l-bracket. Somehow, I still haven't broken a bit.
The ultra-short takeaway is that #Makera 's CAM software is - IMNSHO - π© and not ready for production.
In addition to crashing A LOT it made some really stupid tool paths that _looked_ fine, but definitely were not.
Update: #Makera support got back to me within 3 hours tonight.
They said all the units had passed QC but that maybe something had come loose during shipping. They provided simple instructions and they were right. A wiring harness had come loose.
OMG this thing is amazing. It is SOOOOO quiet.
Squeeeee!
The Chaotic Goodπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβπToday, I got closer than I've ever got to actually using my CNC machine.
I'm not *quite* there yet, but this makes more sense.
My first time using Makera CAM and my first time preparing something for 4th axis.
Wish... Me... Luck?
