Which kit should I fit first - the Bracing Kit or the Quick Swap Kit (or perhaps at the same time?)
Thank you
Not sure if I understand your questionā¦ I would fit both of them, why take a step between? I guess you need to first mount the bracing kit (I do not have mine yet, so Iām guessing), since the Quick Swap kit will be in your way, but still, in the end Iād mount both before switching my machine on againā¦
Pretty easy reallyā¦ I ordered the bracing kit as soon as announced and it still hasnāt arrived and no indication of when it might ship; whereas the quick swap kit arrived 3 or more months ago (I was a late convert to the needā¦ it was out much earlier than that). So, get the quick swap kit (and boy does it make life nice if you are swapping among the 3 (or 4) functionsā¦ really a product enhancement as I use to avoid swapsā¦ now I look forward to them and they are only a few minutes vice hours). And order the bracing kit if you want to upgrade to the CNC enhancement or add a margin of safety. One warningā¦ do not, (NOT) order and extra plate when you order the quick swap kit (i.e., I ordered a spare so I had both the 40w and 1.6w lasers āquickā mounted and in doing so delayed my āall in oneā kit by many weeks as they couldnāt make individual plates as they were selling entire systems too quickly to slow down and make just a plate here or there. Order the full kit (anything less is probably silly) and if you upgrade but want to keep some of your earlier gear also āat the quick swap readyā order individual plates after delivery of your full kit. I ended up having to callā¦ a couple timesā¦ to finally get my order moving.
I also like jmngld,
I ordered the swap kit once complete and a few toolhead plates which were delivered within 3 days so that I can really change all the tool modules quickly.
And today will delivered my bracing kit arrived, which I ordered together with the 200W CNC module.
The swap kit is definitely a must, thatās how I see it if you want to quickly change from one module to another.
But I also think the bracing kit is a good and sensible extension for the A350T. My bracing kit with the 200W laser is being delivered by DHL today.
According to Snapmaker, delivery should be late April.
Iām looking forward to tonight
So today the bracing kit arrived and was installed straight away.
Absolutely great, the instructions are not quite perfect, so that the Z-axis can be mounted on the bracing kit, the screws must be mounted differently here is a picture of how it looks finished.
Unfortunately, the instructions on the wiki are not really successful!
Here the inside of both sides are screwed together:
Here the outer sides screw both sides like this:
