I have 2 Snapmaker 2.0 350 machines. Now I didn't buy them new, got them on eBay from people that really had no idea what they were doing assembly wise and running the Luban or Cura slicer and probably had no idea how to create designs. I lucked out and bought one for $400 the other for $300. Both needed a little attention so I spent and additional $300 combined to get both working. Of course the sellers took them apart, didn't have the original boxes so that's why some pieces were damaged. When you talk about the assembly, the other machines I have are Voron's. They are EXTREMELY intense in building. The Vorons require a bolt by bolt build, then wiring, then the firmware, then the user interface, Klipper, Moonraker, Mainsail or Fluidd. Talk about a complicated built, the snapmaker is CAKE compared to a Voron build. Very very different machines. The snapmaker is cool in that it 3D prints, laser, and CNC. I have one set up for laser, the other for CNC and I did spend some extra case for the rotary CNC. I don't use either for 3D printing as the Voron is faster, much faster and makes better 3D prints by maybe 20% better, not a huge difference but at least 2-3 times faster and better prints is pretty significant. Nice video.
You can't compare voron to any building experience they don't even make the parts, this is a company with a full fledged product
Great review. I've had my A250T for several months now, and I really like it. I have a very small shop that I use mostly for woodworking, but I wanted to try 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving, and CNC milling. My issue was that my shop is already full of woodworking tools, so I had no room for a 3D printer, laser cutter/engraver, and CNC machine. I did have enough room (just barely!) for one machine, though. The Snapmaker A250T let me do all three of those things in the same footprint as a single dedicated machine, so it was perfect for my situation. As you said, the quality of the Snapmaker is excellent - really solid. I didn't have too many problems with assembly, but I did have to back up a couple of times - more on the enclosure than on the machine itself. Since you made this video, Snapmaker has continued to improve the A250T and A350T a lot. They've released the Quick Swap kit, which makes changing from 3D printing to laser to CNC and back very fast - well under a minute (not including recalibration, which can take a couple of minutes). They've released a 10 watt laser module, and now 20 and 40 watt laser modules. I have the 10W laser and ordered the 40W laser. The 10W laser works great. Yesterday I etched some glass with it, and it turned out really well - better than I expected. It can cut and engrave many more and much thicker materials than the 1.6W laser. I expect that the 40W laser will be even better (I hope mine arrives soon!). As a 3D printer, it works great, but it is subject to the same issues that most all 3D printers have - bed adhesion, wet filament, etc. It can take some fussing to get 3D prints to come out perfect, but OTOH, I'm not at all an expert when it comes to 3D printing, so a lot of that is just my inexperience. My first sample 3D prints worked great right out of the box; on others, I've had to play around with the settings to get them to come out well. I have the rotary module for CNC cutting and laser engraving round objects, but I haven't used it or the CNC module at all yet. I want to get some dust collection setup before I do, as I don't want to get dust all over in the enclosure. I've started 3D printing the parts for a dust boot for the CNC, but I've got to finish it. Fortunately, I have a good dust collector in my shop (since it's mostly used for woodworking); I just have to get it hooked up to the Snapmaker. The Luban software is the biggest weakness of the Snapmaker ecosystem, but they continue to improve it. Even if Luban isn't great, you can use Lightburn for the laser, Cura and other slicers for 3D printing, and other CNC software (or Fusion 360) with the Snapmaker, and just use Luban to transfer files, or if you don't want to use it at all, you can use a USB stick to transfer files to the Snapmaker. Overall, I think it's an awesome machine, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. If you want to be able to 3D print, laser cut/engrave, and do CNC milling, but don't have the space or don't want to mess around with three separate machines, I think the Snapmaker is a great way to go. (BTW, I'm *not* associated with the Snapmaker company at all; I just think it's a great machine and wanted to share a bit about my experience with it).
Excellent review! I'm surprised I'm only now seeing your channel! Very informative and gave us a clear idea if the Snapmaker is something the viewers would consider buying. Keep up the excellent work and videos!
Thank you so much!! It means a lot!! I hope to see you around!!!! :D
looks like you used a tapperd bit to cut the inside of the coaster holder. You would need to use a straight endmill to keep the walls 90 degrees.
I would need to rewatch the video, but I believe you. The machine only came with 2 (maybe 3 I dont remember) bits, so there werent many options.
Thanks for doing this review
Definitely! My pleasure!
What version of Lightburn would you purchase? They have multiple.
at 4:44 he says all components are anodized aluminum:.... on a CNC? mm....strong enough? (not to mention the 1.6W laser at 19:01)
i like how you use the different camera angels
Thank you! I'm also glad how it turned out. I've been working towards multiangle production for awhile but there has been some hurdles to go through!
Assembly adds a huge cost to the machine. Given the high quality of everything else, and seeing where they chose to spend money, like the full color manual over an online manual, it’s very understandable why it’s not assembled.
That is a valid point, but I would much prefer lesser packaging, (obviously) no assembly manual, fewer included extras in the box, etc. than have to fight the assembly. That being said, I do not know how much will have to be given up in terms of quality or included extra in order for the machine to come preassembled. It's all a give and a take, I'll agree with you on that
is there a way around this
A very biased rose tinted reviewed here presumably because you were given one of these to review, if you had spend your own money on it you might not be so impressed with it given that it was a 'premium' machine. Snapmaker had a chance to become the Bambu of their day but they screwed the pooch. Amazing build quality all undone by small but really impactful cost cutting measures and all were known annoyances with any of their competition at the time.
Firstly noise, not learning from their first version and the overwhelming feedback on it while also ignoring then then trend on the 3D printing scene to silence screaming Enders. The prmiary cause was the fans - small, loud, cheap and pieces of crap that fail regularly and were clearly a cost cutting measure. The power supply was a smooth sleek silvery box that turned into a jet engine as soon as you turned it on all because some ****wit of a product manager decided they wanted to keep the looking good, clearly an Apple fanboy. Who cares how loud it is the Snapmaker is a piece of art and not supposed to be turned on anyway.... :facepalm: This same product manager must have been in charge of the hotend assembly as the same logic of don't perforate the pretty silver body was applied here turning it into a nightmare to service, remember people its art not a tool. Also a completely unnecessary small shitty cheap fan amping up the volume for those rare times heathens with no appreciation of the arts wanted to actually use the thing. They also cheaped out on the motors, leadscrews and stepper drives in the enclosed drive trains which added to the noise.
Secondly the software - Luban. I guess the name says it all coz they should have shipped some KY with the printer in the pretty box they had the USB drive. Luban was always beta software and buggy as hell regardless of version to the point where no one would who used it on a regular basis would use it as their primary slicer. Sure you had to use if you wanted to do engraving and use the camera feature but it was so Alpha it made the other functions looks good. It slightly improved over time but never became plug and play like software for machines that were only for laser cutting/engraving.
Hotly contested second was the enclosure but as most people had more sense than to order one the software beat it out. The enclosure summed up the Snapmaker, Apple flashy with all smoke and no fire. Apart from having nearly zero effect on the screaming fans their genus product designers decided to put a hole in the enclosure for the phone/control unit to sit in coz you know screen doors make sense on a submarine! The entire project seemed to have gotten the apple treatment of look good but dont work as as good coz that might interfere with the hallowed asthetic. 500 bucks for some extrusions and acrylic that didn't even form a full enclosure thanks for the phone hole and it seems it was beyond their engineering staffs capabilities to make the enclosure impactful and make an attempt at hermetically sealing it. Yep that screams premium right there of course you can't hear it over the fans.
Other idiotic choices like the spool holder, cable management, the 'captive' dust covers, general serviceability, not having a quick swap mechanism for the hotend or bed as it meant having to basically rebuild the printer to go from one function to another. All while giving you a middle of the road printer with a meh print volume, mediocre speed and quality on top of closed software and really bad customer support is the reason why snapmaker is not a known brand like Bambu or Prusa. The community stepped up to address so many of the shortcomings listed above as best it could but as it wasn't as democratised as the Ender series it didn't do much to move the needle, on top of that Snapmaker never learned from community feedback and continued to do stupid things like have noisy fans for later products. Save your money and buy 3 separate machines to do the 3 functions outlined here as on the whole you will end up with more capable machines and a better experience overall.
If you think about it, all reviews are biased. This machine is great for what it offers. It has issues, but this is also a type of machine that doesnt really have a competitor, so for that, I think there is certainly a market.
It's a ripoff that its not assembled
I agree mostly, but to be fair this machine did get released in a time when most machines still had 20 minutes of assembly.
assemble things like this isn't that hard though.
I would prefer this instead of shipping the whole thing assembled and having a really high chance for it to break during the shipping.
