Review on πŸ–€ MYSWEETY 3018PRO M Black Engraving Extension Rod by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Requires assembly but is sturdy

This machine requires assembly. That's what I expected when I ordered this CNC. I was surprised that some parts came pre-assembled. This simplified the overall assembly considerably. I assembled my CNC in about 3 hours from unboxing to powering on. There was no power supply for the laser in the box. I also couldn't communicate with the controller through my computer. I contacted MySweety and after some fiddling they sent the power supply and a new control board. Parts arrived within a few days. The new controller worked perfectly. Good support for MySweety. This version of the CNC 3018 had no limit switches. The control board supported them, but was not included. Limits are set programmatically. I will add real switches because I like the idea of real limit switches. (This is just part of my own issues) The movement is smooth and the frame is very solid. I was surprised how strong this little block is. The box contained three different programs, drivers, manuals and a manual on a USB stick. The programs were a simple CNC program, one for laser and one for circuit board production. The PCB program was a welcome surprise as it was the main reason for purchasing the CNC. Assembly was easy for me, instructions were generally a little skimpy, but I'm an engineer so it's not difficult. I would recommend this CNC to most hobbyists with little building experience. If you are not skilled, find someone to help you assemble this device. Once built the learning curve will be a bit high for a beginner. but you will learn a lot and enjoy this CNC. I would recommend this CNC to any beginner who wants to learn about CNC and have fun doing it. I would definitely recommend this CNC for advanced users and as an advanced user I can't figure out all the things I can do with it.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Slightly torn
