Hi Community,
I have built the frame and connected all the cables and electronics, but I have hit a wall. I just had a baby and my time is limited. I wish I had the time resources to figure it out on my own, but alas, I want to be an attentive Dad. I would love to hire someone who has setup a maslow before to come and set my unit up. I would be grateful to compensate you for helping me finally get this machine up and running. Thank you!
Zach
Welcome to the Forum!
Congrats on the little one.
Hope you can find someone, itâs in US i guess, so too far for me

Thanks for the friendly warning. I went ahead and removed my email too. If I donât hear from anyone, perhaps I will ask for some remote help. Thanks again!
Thank you! Fixed!
Also, congrats on being a new dad! I understand your circumstances. I have about 1.5-2 hrs/week to work on Maslow. Please donât take this the wrong way but I encourage you to be patient with life and keep reading the forums. In my opinion, the Maslow CNC is like a lot of other things in life; âyou get what you put inâ and âitâs about the journey not the destinationâ. If you pay someone to do it for you, you miss out on so much of the learning experience of how the machine works and itâs quirks.
This community is an immense resource, especially previous conversations/threads. I have found that almost everything has been covered before. I see that you have 4 hours of total reading time; thatâs great!
If you are struggling with something, please know that you arenât the first and wonât be the last. Try searching the forums for each specific problem and keep at it. Ask the community questions.
Ok. Iâll give it a go! Thanks for the encouragement⌠
This is encouragement, even though it might not seem itâŚ
It took me over a year to finish my build, with almost the same amount of time with the Maslow in the box. I have two small kids, and not enough time for all the projects, but the satisfaction youâll get from your first successful cut will be worth it. And (I realize this is a bit early) having your children watch you build something from parts is, I believe, great for both you and them.
Remember, nap time is your friend⌠assuming your child naps (my second does not)
@zachbliss And to answer your original question. I wish I could come to NYC/Brooklyn to help
Also, there is a map somewhere on here where you can pin your (approximate) location. Pretty informal and not sure how many people have actually done it but itâs neat to see who is around you.
i put myself on that map⌠if i can be so bold.
Zach - I just sent you a PM here. I might be able to help.
Congrats on the new kid! It gets easier, although it might take around 18 years or so 
before you both get to sleep through the night.
Besides kids are the path to grandkids, theyâre pretty cool too
Hey- I could help you out- Iâm local and built one of these/use it on a daily basis at my job.
