Makera Z1 review - Capable but currently rushed

Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing:    / @ttracingyt   Makera is back with their newest desktop CNC, the smaller and cheaper Carvera Z1. In this video, I compare the various models, test the performance and examine the whole software ecosystem to see what works well and what still needs development. While the performance is sound, there are some aspects behind in development that may wish to consider before backing this project. This product was provided free of charge by Makera for the purpose of review. All opinions are my own and the machine was tested in accordance with my review policy: https://teachingtechyt.github.io/revi... Following this video it will be donated to a local school.
