I could not agree more.
The world of CNC is not even close to as friendly as 3D printing. I think it’s because until very recently CNC machines cost $30,000+ and were usually operated by a dedicated operator who’s full time job it is to operate the machine. A machine doesn’t need to be easy to use if someone has the time to learn every quirk and trick to make it work well.
I am hoping that more and more we will see machines becoming friendlier as they come down in price.
The closest thing I have found to 3D printing easy of use is Kiri:Moto…because it is a program designed for 3D printing.
