I want to learn how to design, control robots so i‘m planning to built my own robot, from actuator to every parts even softwares to control with.

Since don’t have particular workplace like garage i need compact work station like desktop cnc and 3d printer which will placed in my room.

Maker z1 and qidi or bambulab is the best choice i think and can’t find pcb makers for my diy control board.

For who does similar projects like me. Want to ask recommendation for my project such as the best choice for printer and tools or extra tools that i need.

I am planning to purchase makera z1 model or z1 pro
seems that pro model is considerably expensive then normal model.

1. Should i buy pro for metal cnc projects? ( On youtube there are many videos using z1 for metal cnc but pro is recommended for mainly metal users but why?)

2. My first goal is to make actuator and make robotic arm with my 3d printer…. And also make pcb for encoders and control board for actuator using z1…… but is it realizable plan?
