The big 80/20 black framed one? I put a few of those things together, nice machine.

For team use mostly I've done spacers and washers and prototype parts for certain things. I find the ABS just to weak to use in most things, and even for spacers we started to lathe everything from alum stock after we got our lathe.

Enclosures for certain electronics and cases for Gyros is also useful.

On the flip side I've made jigs for light duty machining.
