I made a complex aluminum part right on my desk — with the upcoming Makera Z1 Mini CNC Machine! In this video, we’re taking a first look and hands-on testing – a mini review – of the Makera Z1, exploring its specs, features, and real-world CNC milling performance. We’ll put it through heavy aluminum machining tests, push its limits, and even tackle a precision aluminum project for my high-speed 3D printer. By the end, we’ll find out: Is the smaller Makera Z1 Mini CNC really worth the Kickstarter gamble?
Let’s get those aluminum chips flying!
