Hey Martyn,
I showed a person this video. This person knew what effort and time it takes to make such a thing without a CNC, by hand. Months later, when the packages from Onefinity had arrived and were stacked in the apartment, one day they stood in front of it and looked at it, and suddenly they said: “It is so great that you ordered these things”. They meant the ability to get things produced by the machine nearly automatically, preferably from wood or aluminium (which has a much better reputation than to produce lots of plastic waste by buying a 3D printer) that were created in a virtual 3D space before, and to now in life have a plan B for earning money with it.
Be sure that you master your CAD/CAM software and you are able to create objects in virtual 3D space when the machine arrives!
