    Yet another end-to-end solid review! Can't say it enough: I love your matter-of-fact, straight-to-the-point, no-BS-just-good-content style πŸ‘
  • @ulamss5
    This side of the industry sorely needs someone like Bambu to just come in and do a lot of common sense things and more. This pace of yearly improvements is embarrassing.
  • @kieren7763
    I just found your channel and you do a great job of reviewing machines clear ,honest and straight to the point and very knowledgeable

    Time to invest in a dust shoe and a shop vac to get rid of all those crumbs before they fly everywhere. πŸ˜€ They make one that fits this 3030 perfectly.
  • Thank you for the best Review of the PROVer3030 i have seen.😍

    I never knew I needed something like this...but here we are.

    i been running this machine for a while, overall an excellent well built machine with a decent price tag, however the biggest downside is the weak 300w spindle. For wood they are absoletly fine but for a machine that is this ridge and advertised to cut soft metals it need something alot more. I personally upgraded the spindle to a 1.5kw spindle now can run metal jobs like it nothing even can cut titanium plates at okay ish speed. and it give me the opportunity to run 10mm end mills too with an er16 collet. Overall very happy with the machine very well build just wish it give you an option to buy a better spindle out of the box rather than wasting money on the 300w spindle

    Nice video. I'm impressed by the improvements they made to this type of CNC.
  • @elliot3147
    Pro tip, you can use hot glue to help secure some of your materials down. Then use ipa to release it.

    Hey there, with the Makita running at 4.5 the RPM is 25.000, so you roughly double the speed with the same gCode. More power, double speed, of course the gCode makes it easy, but it only shows the obvious evidence. To be fair and allow people to see the real difference between the 300w spindle and the wood router, you should have double the feed and speed of the gCode for the Makita (or divided by two the feed and speed of the Spindle's gCode or set the speed of the Makita to position 2) making parameters somehow equivalent. For your information, the optimal parameters for your 1/8"carbide bit in 6061 amuminium should be something like: _ 0.2in (5mm) depth of cut, so the bit should allow you to cut into you 0.125in (3.125mm) plate in one easy pass considering the 1.5hp of the router. _ 6370 RPM (Makita's speed 1 is 10.000rpm, not suitable for cutting aluminium) _ 15.3in.mn (388mm.mn) - BUT should be raised with the Makita to 23in.mn (610mm.mn) because of the 10.000 RPM. Can the machine stands it ? If yes, what about the cut quality ?
  • @Big_Boulders
    Nice video. Here's a few tips. You would get better results if the materials are mounted directly on to a solid surface. This will result in less chatter. Next time try the same cuts with a single flute up cut bit and set the milling to a convenientional cut.

    you wont believe how clutch this is. i just got mine in and set it up but dont have much of an idea of how to use it. im sure this will be helpful. you really helped me how to use my 3d printer.
