that is not true at all, you can get a great CNC rig for under $900 or build your own for a third of that. i know i've seen tons of "build a CNC machine for under $30 by stealing parts out of your grandma's printer" guides as well.
For milling metal? Or doing ultra-precise cuts on plastic? No way jose. I don't have too much knowledge on the subject but I highly doubt you could get the same precision on a 3D printer as you would with a DIY CNC machine.

i agree, they give me nothing but trouble in general, it's like 'just print the fucking thing' without whirring and beeping and grinding at me
i mean what IS the deal with printers?
