That's the one you recommended for my

just lowered the price ...
In addition, how hard would it be to 3D print some parts to turn it
into a PLOTTER?
That's actually a pretty common modification for existing 3D
printers.
3D print brackets for mounting a dremel, and have
a cheap (crappy) CNC
mill.
3D printer chassis make lousy CNC router
chassis. The frame stiffness
isn't there. (and it shouldn't be)
No I tried using my Maplin/Velleman/3Drag to route and it was pants. Some
folks have allegedly used them to make PCBs but I can't believe it works
well.
I did use it to drill the switch holes for the Baby Baby...
but the bed flexing didn't matter for that, but it wouldn't mill the
triangle trunnions that keep the uprights upright.
