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.
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.

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 may combine the two nodes into one just to reduce monthly cost on it. I do like this project though, its pretty cook.
Not yet, they should begin shipping soon. Mid June they locked in orders and shipping information and posted their fulfillment timeline

Aug - first batch shipping (around 100 machines)
Sep - second batch shipping (around 200 machines)

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...
