Thanks. Hard to say how long it took, I started exactly one year ago. I first started with a wooden box, but binned it as soon as I got a 3d printer. Then there were alternating periods of CAD, printing and tinkering with the electronics; and this project sitting in a box because I did other things in life. 😅
Not an American, but it really reads like they redefined 3D printer as meaning “literally any kind of cnc machine”.
