I have been in the market for a pick and place machine for home/hobby use for quite some time but never found anything that was affordable and not an early-DIY-project-that-never-got-finished. I noticed the CHM T36 in the racer car video and was wondering if it was any good. How hard is it to run that machine and was everything (like the software) in Chinese? What did that cost and how many feeders does it have? What would you say are the good and bad features?
I have been looking at the LumenPnP for a bit and version 4.0 seems to be pretty close to what I want and for $1995 it is within reach. What was stopping me from buying was the individual feeders are about $100 each so quickly surpass the cost of the machine. (it can hold 50 feeders) I normally have boards made that have 20 or more different parts.
Yes, I am aware the return on investment for something like this for the hobbyist is long compared to online fab shops like JLCPCB or PCBWay.

A bit off topic but I will try to tie it in...
