• Avoid laser cut wood frames. They are primarily used in kits because they are very cheap to laser cut, but wood can flex or swell or break easily.
• Avoid threaded rods. They compromise accuracy and speed.
• Think long term. Avoid systems that are just the ‘latest flavor’ and will be obsolete in six months.
