To All Snapmaker Enthusiasts and Snapmaker Team Members,
Hello, this is Blockmodule.
It has been quite some time since Snapmaker was first introduced. Looking at the Snapmaker store, I see that products are being sold at significant discounts. Those who purchased at close-to-original prices might be feeling frustrated.
I imagine sales are starting to slow down. While I understand that Snapmaker employees rely on these sales for their livelihood, I suspect internal discussions are happening about how to boost sales.
Thereās still plenty of potential for Snapmaker 2.0 to generate revenue, but I wonder if Snapmakerās management and engineers have realized this yet.
Take, for example, the Snapmaker GitHub repository. Many user requests have been submitted, yet most remain just requests, with few actually leading to feature additions or improvements.
Looking at these requests, many suggest enhancements to the touchscreen display, which could significantly improve functionality and visual information accessibility. However, these have been largely ignored.
To increase sales, the key is keeping existing customers satisfied. Since Snapmaker already has a touchscreen panel connected via USB-C, why not release an expanded version with a larger display? A wireless tablet-like version with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity could also be a great option.
Imagine a wireless touchscreen panel that allows precise jogging of CNC axes with speed control from 0.05mm to 10mmājust thinking about it is exciting!
Thereās still so much untapped potential. Perhaps itās time to analyze user feature requests more carefully and turn them into new products.
I personally use five Snapmaker 2.0 A250 machines to create various projects, dedicating each one specifically to Laser, CNC, and 3D Printing tasks.
Iāve had my fair share of complaints in the past, but Iām still an avid fan. Please release a new touchscreen panel that reignites excitement among Snapmaker enthusiasts.
Additionallyā¦
Regarding the white plastic screws in the old and new linear modulesāSnapmaker may prefer to sell entire linear modules, but experienced users and enthusiasts specifically need those plastic screws. Of course, aiming for large sales is important, but consider selling these as individual spare parts as well. Please make the plastic screws for the older linear modules available for purchase.
I know Iāve written quite a bit, but I canāt help but be excited about a wireless touchscreen panel. For someone like me, who operates five machines, a shared control interface would be a game-changer.
What do you all think?
Some might say itās unnecessary, but for those who truly love Snapmaker, this would be fantastic news.
