Finally got the unit in, setup and ran one of the demo files. Currently working on my first custom job, pictures to come of that. My cell phone camera is not very good, but here are some initial pictures.

Its on a boat for another few weeks probably :)

Tiny update Carvera has SHIPPED! This means its at the actual port, the initial batch left their warehouse a bit ago and has officially reached the port and shipped to backers. EDIT: Official unboxing video

Upcloud VM for this is around $5 a month, its not bad, but I am at the point where if I consolidate my two nodes into one and combine the PRE will likely do better. But I supported this project not to make money, I like what they are doing.

I am using upcloud, one East coast, one Central I believe.

I have two active nodes, total 5k pre staked. I may combine the two nodes into one just to reduce monthly cost on it. I do like this project though, its pretty cook.

What will you do with the gear after the merge, any interesting ETH altcoins worth mining?

Not yet, they should begin shipping soon. Mid June they locked in orders and shipping information and posted their fulfillment timeline Here comes the latest fulfillment timeline: Aug - first batch shipping (around 100 machines) Sep - second batch shipping (around 200 machines) Oct - Third...

I just want lower gas fees :(

Pre orders are up. . . . .$2,000 US. https://www.prusa3d.com/product/original-prusa-xl-2/ I said my next printer would be a Prusa, and waited for the XL, but dang at that price it will have to wait :(

Has this sold?

I ended up backing it. Got in on the early bird special and added the 4th axis unit. They met their goal within a minutes of going live, hopefully it comes through :)

They sent out a notice that the kickstarter is like 49% off that $5-6k number like around $2,250ish. Which may be a good price point. I don't consider it much of a glowforge since it doesn't seem locked into their own designs, basically if you can make it in CAD you can mill it with this...

This doesn't really fit anywhere else, and since they say "As easy to use as a 3d Printer" I am putting it here :) Has anyone heard of the Makera Carva, its billed as a desktop milling machine (optional 4th axis) that looks pretty spiffy. Its hitting Kickstarter tomorrow and while I am very...
