Maslow4.1 - Accessible Large Format CNC Router

About this project

Design something on your computer, then watch it become real—that's the magic of digital fabrication, and it shouldn't belong only to expensive industrial machines. The Maslow team believes everyone deserves a CNC router. Maslow 4.1 is an affordable large-format CNC router using a distinctive suspended dual-arm design that cuts full 4x8-foot sheets at a fraction of the cost of conventional gantry machines. After the successful Maslow 4 launch, the team revamped the calibration process, refreshed the user interface, and shipped new firmware, bundling these upgrades into the 4.1 for new and existing users alike. It stays firmly open source, with all designs and code released into the public domain—you can even 3D-print your own—while the campaign offers injection-molded parts and deliberately chosen standard screws and connectors to keep tinkering easy. Launched in November 2024, it drew 1,432 backers and raised about $458,405, roughly 2,865% funded.

Highlights

  • Large format, small price: full 4x8 ft cuts for everyday makers
  • Fully open source: public-domain design and code, print or modify freely
  • Gen-2 evolution: revamped calibration, UI, and firmware for a smoother ride
  • Built to tinker: common screws, connectors, and cables invite modification
