Acorn CNC Controller Price Increase
The new pricing will take effect March 1st 2024
These two items are scheduled for a modest 10% price increase:
1.) Acorn Pro License increase of 10%. New Pro License price is $175
2.) Acorn CNC Controller kit increase of 10%. New Kit price is $363
This is a courtesy announcement for the Acorn DIY CNC community for anyone that has been on the fence about purchasing an Acorn Kit or CNC12 Pro License so they will have time to buy at the current pricing.
Purchase an Acorn CNC controller here.
Notes:
- Centroid has held the price of the Acorn CNC Controller hardware kit fixed all through these last three years of inflation.
- During the last three years, Acorn CNC12 Mill, Router, Plasma and Lathe Pro have not seen a price increase while significant man hours have gone into feature requests and continued development of CNC12.
- All new versions of CNC12 software have been Free of Charge for Acorn users since the inception of Acorn in 2017
- All existing Acorn CNC12 Licenses work with the new version of CNC12
- CNC12 Licenses are a ‘lifetime’ license. Not a subscription. You own it. It does not require an internet connection and does not ‘call home’.
- Licenses are tied to the Acorn board, not the PC. Install CNC12 and the License on any PC you like (that meets the minimum hardware requirements of course). So, when the PC dies or Hard Drive crashes you don’t have to contact us for a new license. Your license works with the Acorn board.
