Test Results Sharing
In addition to conducting tests for all modules, we also have selected samples at random, assembled them and conducted more tests. All of the sample machines perform excellently and the results are satisfying.

Review Invitations
As the first batch of production is delivered successfully, we are inviting reviewers to review our product. If you have a favorite YouTube channel, recommend it to us. We will make a list and contact the most influential ones. It would be great help if you can tell your favorite YouTube reviewer about us.
Though the first goal is achieved, we are not getting slack. We will keep up the good work and bring you another good news soon.
There are a few great YouTube channels that have done great reviews of other 3d printing products. Joel Telling @3dprintingnerd, Angus @MakersMuse, and Thomas Sanladerer.
@Rainie I like your measured approach as it makes me feel comfortable that when it is my turn, that I will receive a top quality device. So don’t rush, even when everyone is screaming for their Snapmaker.
If you’re in the US, it’s likely stuck in Customs in Anchorage with the rest of them. No way to know how long the delay is, as they are holding an entire container. They said anywhere from 48 hrs to 30 days. So far it’s been a week.
Also, you should have received an email with the Shipment Tracking Numbers Spreadsheet. Look up your Purchaser Number in that list. And check with the shipper. Mine was Fedex.
Thank you. I did receive the spreadsheet but have not determined where to find the backer number. I have gone back to all emails thinking I missed it but still have not located it.
You can locate your pledge number by logging into kickstarter and then go to the snapmaker page. From there you should be able to “view pledge”. Scroll to the bottom and you should see an area that says backer #.
On a side note I super disappointed with the way the tracking numbers were sent out. Highly unprofessional and not in the least bit secure. I’ll be surprised if they don’t have a large number of packages swiped off doorsteps with the way the tracking numbers were sent out. If anyone from snapmaker needs me to elaborate on the critical error PM me.
Thank you for the advice about how to send the tracking number. We found that BackerKit survey has a function to send tracking numbers separately. If it works, we will use this function to send tracking numbers next time.
Thank you again!
As far as I’ve noticed, there was news about the schedule on the 6th of november, ten days back in history.
When I look into this update, I wonder what the schedule says about the backers (like me) who backed between March '17 and June '17 ?
Am I complaining ? No… I’m very patient because I strongly believe in this product and company. But maybe it’s a little note for better transparancy (like we used to from the beginning and all the cool updates we got in the first 5 months).
Another note, I didn’t receive a BackerKit survey as far as I searched through my email history, I didn’t got the news in my email inbox too like the update above on the 6th of November, if it’s said those first normal backerkits will be send in late november, I had to received that BackerKit survey ?
Rainie, can you look into this ? I’m backer #1814
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not mad, not upset or whatever… just asking for more transparancy
You can see the schedule posted by Meike.
You placed the preorder on August 14. So according to the schedule, your Snapmaker is estimated to be delivered in late November.
Hi @Rainie
I am happy waiting in the background, my order was dated 23 July. I note the mention above that orders during that period are due for delivery late November, however I have not as yet received a BackerKit Survey.
