It didn’t get better.

And The Verdict Is…

I stand by my previous opinion: this thing is absolute garbage.

The best argument for a Maslow is that it’s the cheapest way to get a 4’x8’ cutting area. However, you can easily build a LowRider v3. It will cut faster with more precision. There’s absolutely no good reason to buy a Maslow, and there’s even less of a reason to buy an M2.

I want to be clear: there are lots of things in life that can be well worth your patience. This is not one of those things.

Calibration Went Worse Than Expected

One week, I finally got a chance to try calibration with the M2.

If you’re curious what the calibration results were, I recorded them.

As shown, I completed 3 full rounds of calibration. I expected this process to be slow and painful. It was. I was still cuttng with an accuracy of roughly 2” after three rounds of calibration.

I understand that I need patience, but this is unreasonable. I realized: this was not worth my time. By extension, this is not worth your time. Yup, this thing is garbage.

Into The Garbage It Goes

Most of my MakerMade M2 went into the trash can… where it belongs.
