Your First Makera Z1 Make

Create with Makera Z1. Share your first make on Makerables!

Just received your Makera Z1? Not sure what to make first?

Welcome to the Your First Makera Z1 Make Challenge—a community event designed to help you get started with your Z1, share your creations, and connect with makers around the world.

Your first project doesn't have to be complicated. It can be simple. It can be small. It can even be a remake of one of our official projects. What matters most is that you start making, complete a project, and share your experience with the community.

Whether you're new to CNC or an experienced maker, everyone's welcome.

We can't wait to see your first Z1 project!
