Awesome! Please do tell of your experience with the thing. A CNC of this size is something I might be looking into in the near future, too.
Banggood is one of my typical drone parts supply stores, and yeah, their shipping is quite hit-and-miss. But usually their stock is good, wide selection and rather cheap.
Combining CNC and 3D printing doesn't usually work out well. While the basic principle of a tool moving freely in 3D space controlled by stepper motors holds, the requirements to speed and axis ranges are quite different (eg. most CNCs have a rather short Z-axis, while a 3D printer needs a much longer one to have a decent build volume). There have been various projects attempting that, but it typically ends up being both a sub-par CNC and a mediocre slow-ish printer.

The BG 3018 CNC actually supports a laser attachment, and is also sold as a kit with both CNC and laser heads.i want something like that where you can swap the active bit for a 3D print, a CNC or a lasercutter
i don't want 3 different devices...how hard can it be?
