It has been talked about before when it was still in its kickstarter campaign. But now they are available so I’m curious if anyone has worked with one.
I ask because there’s this comedian in my neighbourhood who also happens to be a maker, and now he started a YT channel with weekly projects.
A few weeks ago, he got a Maslow (http://www.maslowcnc.com) and seems to be very excited with it.
Maybe he was sponsored. Maybe he is just excited because it’s his first cnc. Maybe he wants positive vibes in his videos. Or maybe it really is a good machine.
I wonder. From the looks of it, I can’t imagine it being close to what say an Xcarve does. But I guess I could be wrong.
My workmate has one coming in a couple of weeks. I’ve looked into it based on our conversations. Not really a precision device but definitely good enough for large cuts in plywood. Only runs at 40 ipm max from the specs I saw.
When his comes, I’m sure he’ll share his experiences and I’ll relay them.
There has been some theoretical debate as far as i can recall. Youtube reviews tend to be sponsored, therefor biased.
I wonder if someone who paid for it thinks it is actually worth the money.
I have a Maslow but admittedly have not constructed the frame yet. It has been sitting in the box for at least 5 months. I was planning on building the frame, but I received my Glowforge in the meantime and this has taken up a lot of my non-extra time. There have been some interesting projects created with the Maslow.
They have an incredible forum with lots of information. Bar (creator) is very active in the forums. I would encourage you to visit their website. I met both Bar and Hannah at the Bay Area Maker Faire last year where they had the Maslow on display. Really nice people.
