Feels like I'm watching some sitcom. Does anyone else feel the people are laughing too much?.. or probably the microphone is very near to the audience.
Yup, felt the same
> Hi! I shot the video. We had some problems with the mic hookup on stage so I was using a mic all the way back at the camera that wasn't nearly as directional as I hoped. Apologies to everyone's eardrums !
Does there exist a sub 500$ cnc router that you can actually build interesting stuff with and interface with a computer?

I tried Googling "!!Con" and obviously the exclamation marks don't count as part of the search term. Apparently Google doesn't know what I mean by "exclamation mark exclamation mark con" either. There's also no link in their YouTube channel...
He mentioned that he bought that cnc machine like it was no big deal. I looked them[1] up, the cheapest one was 6 grand!!

That's discouraging. He pretty much admits during the whole talk that he doesn't really know what he's doing. But he's doing it nevertheless. He's learning. And he's encouraging others to try and do stuff they don't know much about. And to celebrate small victories. Also, I never ever have proper diagnostic skills to figure out the problem when I'm doing something I've never done before.
I didn't want to be discouraging. I was just phrasing what I would think if I just did something like he did.
Hell, after watching the video I was like "I gotta make me one of those. But with Slackware!!!" :)
Don't feel bad about a few downvotes. I just think you missed the point. (Also, I didn't downvote).
I gave this talk. Slides are here: https://keminglabs.com/talks/#bangbangcon2015 I'll post some photos of the current version and more details on my twitter (@lynaghk) tomorrow (in 10 hours). Software is all on an 8-bit Atmel microcontroller, written in C in the style of Harel Statecharts ( http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/seoc/2005_2006/reso... ).
What was that 3D/CAD software you were using?

Take a look at the X-Carve [0] for a cheaper alternative.
There's also the Othermill [1].
