  • Machine length: Adjustable from 1.5 to 3m
  • Machine width: Adjustable from 0.5 to 1.5m
  • Machine height: Adjustable from 0.5 to 1.5m
  • M*ax growing area: Approximately 2.9m x 1.4m
  • Max* plant height: approx. 0.5m

Currently the price is $3100. I think that I could probably build my own CNC for about $1500, but that wouldn't include the heads and it'd be a process. I plan to slowly build one over many months after finishing my next computer build.

There you go - the list of materials along with sources and prices, by section.

It comes out to about $2021, but I don't think that list has the heads (weeder, planter, waterer).
