Has anyone ever tried making a kind of hybrid design using both 3d printed and cnc milled aluminium parts? I'm about to build a aluminium-capable cnc, so if anyone has any Ideas for me to try, I'd be very happy!

I see what you did there.

With CNC routers that can cut aluminum being the price of a decent printer, I hope to see a lot more metal in the fosscad space.
