The subject of this site, and how it is funded

MakerVerdict is an independent editorial site about hobby digital fabrication and bench electronics — FDM, resin and multicolour 3D printers, 3D scanners and 3D pens, diode and CO2 laser engravers, desktop CNC routers, vinyl cutting plotters, heat presses and mug presses, sublimation and DTF printers, filament dryers, resin wash and cure stations, ultrasonic cleaners, laser fume extractors, hot wire foam cutters, soldering and hot air rework stations, bench power supplies, oscilloscopes, microcontroller boards, single-board computers, electronics kits, magnifier lamps, rotary tools and hot glue guns — and the enclosures, filaments, resins, build plates, nozzles, hotends, extruders, release films, levelling probes, storage, tool kits, laser safety glasses, honeycomb beds, air assist, rotary rollers, plywood and acrylic sheets, end mills, vinyls, sublimation papers and blanks, weeding tools, cutting mats, solder, tips, flux, breadboards, sensor kits and glue sticks that go with them. It does not cover woodworking routers, saws and sanders, arc welders and metal grinders, multimeters, calipers and thermal cameras, photo printers, sewing and embroidery machines, desk lamps, USB hubs or storage drives, all of which are covered elsewhere; nor industrial machines sold by quotation. Laser powers, laser classes, wavelengths, build volumes and working areas, print speeds, layer heights, pixel pitches, nozzle diameters, temperatures, voltages and currents, bandwidths and sample rates, optical densities, dimensions and material ratings published by manufacturers are reported as such, with their unit written as published, with their source named, and never derived by us. In particular, a laser's electrical power and its optical power are reported as the two distinct figures they are, and one is never presented as the other. Nothing here replaces a manufacturer's own instructions, the markings on a product, or the rules of the country you are in — and two statements are repeated on every page that touches them: a published print speed is the limit of a motion system and is never presented here as the rate at which a part is produced; and no enclosure, filter, extractor, pair of glasses or setting is described on this site as making a machine or a workshop safe. It is funded by Amazon affiliate links: a purchase made after following one of our links may earn us a commission, at no additional cost to you. How that works, and what stops it from steering our verdicts, is set out on the affiliate disclosure page.

The orderings and recommendations published here are editorial judgements about fabrication machines and bench tools. They are not professional advice, and nothing about a result is guaranteed by them.
