Just ordered an XXL on 3/23/16. I used to be a machinist before i blew up a disk in my back. After many surgeries, and finding work in the quality control section of manufacturing, I find myself bored with measuring things and want to make things again. I found the shapeoko3 and I think it is the answer to my dreams! I hope it will ship soon… I can’t wait to get in on some of the problem solving. Is impossible to have any input without the machine being here and operational.
