Super stoked to have finally received the Carvera Air which I ordered on Kickstarter about 9 months ago!!! After doing a bunch of 3D printing and laser cutting with the Glowforge, I really wanted to test/try out CNC’ing and see what I could learn and build with a small desktop machine. I have been considering this for probably 4+ years, but never found the right machine or the intention to spend the money. Last year I decided to pull the trigger and after a long wait it finally arrived 🙂
First project was building a couple small parts to understand the workflow which I think turned out great. Overall, I am already really impressed. I think I will be constrained by the bed size, but will cross that bridge when I get to it 🙂
Here are a couple videos of the machine in action. I think the first few projects will be tools which I can then use to make carbon fiber parts from, and then cut the CF parts after (I made a small water bed to cut the CF in to avoid the hazardous dust!).
