Hi, I recently purchased a kit. As yet have not put the machine together. Currently working building a workbench to house the machine and all my other gear. I'm looking forward to getting it all up and running soon, and currently doing a bunch of research and study. I'm an Australian living in rural Sumatra, Indonesia for past few years..early retirement. Just buying the machine was an ordeal in itself as I had to traveling enroute from Australia-Indo via Singapore specifically to purchase and carry the kit along with bunch of other gear in taxi's, ferrys, flights and a couple of border crossings..what a day!!. International postage is notoriously bad here in Indonesia. Can safely say I'm the only owner of a stepcraft cnc in these parts 🙂 Long time electronics hobbiest, so I have bought the machine to help prototype several ideas that I have been chipping away at. I got some quotes from various product design companies and decided instead of paying someone else to prototype, that I would make an investment in myself and learn new skills. At least I figure after going through the process of attempting to prototype I will have much better idea of the time and whats truly being done.
Planning on designing in Fusion 360 and running jobs through uccnc. I will initially be starting out just with small 2d timber pieces with dremel 3000. And already thinking about a upgrading the spindle for some aluminium..getting ahead of myself
I will have plenty of questions, so look forward to your help... and hoping I can eventually help others in return, on the forum.
cheers
Steve

If you upload some nice pictures from the place where you live, you have good chances of life learning lessons from us .. we'll just come over with a sixpack 😆

I wish you a lot of fun with your SC.
