Checked it out - pretty cool to use mouse sensors for the tracking, also pretty cool that it's basically a mech suit for a dremel lol. I also enjoyed the site's aesthetic. All around cool stuff, wish I could use it for something.
The mouse sensor tracking is brilliant, but these handheld routers can drain batteries quick - if you're planning to use it away from outlets check power stations on gearscouts.com to find one with enough wattage for extended use.
This was making me wet, until I checked the price... for a kit!
Granted, it's open source, but it looks like sourcing the BOM would be quite a bit of work.
The Maslow, which is entirely autonomous, cost less. The downside is the space required. The Compass is the winner in the space required department, but 500$ ?
That's totally fair. It isn't cheap but the price is amazing compared to the Shaper Origin which is $2,900.
I also like the maslow which is more accurate over long distances so it would be better for furniture.
Technology for a Solar-Punk future.
