I would not care if it is a hard-bound, textbook style manual I have to purchase or if it’s a 500page PDF I have to download, print out and put into a 3-ring binder…I want an actual manual a technical writer has written for the Snapmaker 2.0 (including Luban). I HATE having to dig through the forum and click on multiple entries that end up having little to do with their titles. I hate that a lot of answers occur basically off-topic in entries that have nothing to do with those subjects.
The online “manual”? It’s terrible. It’s laid out terribly, it’s confusing, it’s very basic with little depth. It’s like someone was just ticking off the basics and they were told to explain by their boss and quickly moved on to the next subject just to get it done before it was due. The Quick Start Guide that comes with the machine? Totally lovely. It looks and reads like it was written by someone who gave a damn. It’s beautiful…but it’s just a quick start guide. Now make me a full manual, including reference charts and as much information, ranging from beginner to expert, that you can jam into a giant tome. I’d pay $100 for a thorough, well-written manual, written by the Snapmaker team by a technical writer as the Ultimate Snapmaker 2.0 Manual that I could reference with any question so I didn’t have to sift through the internet, given that the burden of that knowledge is pretty much currently on the users. Seriously, $100.
