What’s your guys opinions on the Routakit on Kickstarter, large work envelope but seems kind of pricey considering they will be ordering the BOM items in bulk. I’m unfamiliar with the typical costs, it would be interesting to hear from people who know

You can get most of it in a (configurable) kit form from SMW3d for roughly $890-$1300, depending on options:
