Brother this is a game changer. Can't wait for your future videos!!!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Sure is, opens up many more design choices for future builds 😄

[@GetMyNerdOn]

Ive started looking into cnc machines to make my own aluminum keyboards and this is just fueling that curiosity even more lol Looks super good and cant wait to see more of your builds!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks! For cutting aluminium, you'd definitely want to upgrade the spindle power or else it would be super slow. Also make sure the working area is sufficient for the keyboard size you want to make :)

[@natalielim62]

What a cute box! ❤️

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks!

[@benjaminvanderkwaak]

Great video! You had my curiosity but now you have my attention

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@HardKaw]

That fan is a genius invention, simple solution, no extra electricity needed. I saw the comment about dust everywhere, but don't listen to nay sayers, im sure you will come up with a solution for the dust as well 💪

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks! Although it's not my idea copied it from another review of this machine. I have now switched over to a proper dust extraction system

[@5q11]

Nice! Looking forward to seeing more CNCing.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for watching! I look forward to using it more too 😀

[@AnoleXofficial]

Great video, thanks🏆

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks again for the support! Can't wait to use it for my PC projects 😁

[@TheRealMafoo]

I like your video's as the content is great, and your skills are awesome as well. However one area of improvement, is the camera setup you use while sitting at your desk. Everything else looks like a pro, and your desk shots look like KZbin from 10 years ago :). The sound is great though, which is funny, because most people nail the video before they sort out sound quality.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you for the detailed feedback, I will certainly look towards improving the desk shot!

[@TheRealMafoo]

@@mxcbuilds6633 Cool :). I just watched the "The All ProArt PC - Wooden Mod PC Build. DIY themed case.", and that desk setup looks great. So it might just be an "I am editing this video at 2AM, want to tell the audience something, and can't be bothered setting everything up" kind of situation. :). You obviously know what you are doing.

Do you still sell PC chassis? I couldn't find any on Etsy

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Sorry I do not sell them currently

[@FrIoSrHy]

Good review

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@SamAgro2024]

I am wondering how accurate/precise this machine is. One way of testing this would be to print dozens of 1mm diameter circles scattered apart on a sheet of paper and then try to drill shallow holes on top of them. If the machine is accurate, it should not misalign the hole locations.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Interesting suggestion, maybe next time

[@mvognev]

it is recommended to make the finishing pass in the direction of the approach to the cutter, and not in the direction of movement of the cutter

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Good suggestion!

[@tinayoga8844]

Now you need to make a lid you your box.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Haha 🤣

[@Greenock]

Would you build me a wooden case? U got skillz😊

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks! What's in it for me?

[@Greenock]

I'd like to know if you do commissions and how much it would cost.

[@SirChocula]

@@mxcbuilds6633 I def think it's a good business decision to sell custom cases. You could work on your own schedule/time while providing a service many many pc enthusiast would want.

[@ALLCOLOURSOFLIFE]

It is pity - no rotary support even as option ... as in Carvera Air

[@mxcbuilds6633]

I guess if you require the rotary tool it'll be better to look at another model. I don't think I'll be using the rotary function much hence this model will suffice for me :)

[@scottshipley]

Using a fan to blow the dust away is a terrible idea, it must go everywhere and it increases the chance of you inhaling it which is not good for your health, that's why dust extraction is the conventional way of dealing with it!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

You are right, it's bad long term. Just wanted to show the cutting action better in the video. Think the video would be abit boring just watching a dust shoe moving around. But saying that, I will be designing and building an enclosure for this with included dust extraction :). Thanks for the feedback

[@JoseLake.]

You do have a point cause most people will be doing this as a hobby in doors. But in most other case like in mine the fan sounds awesome cause i got a well ventilated and air cleaning duck system in my shop.
