Hello all,
Thomas here from Denmark.
Engineer working as a science teacher. Always been technology interested.
I have 3D-printed before, sp I will use the Snapmaker as an upgrade to my small home printer and as my entry into laser engraving and CNC-work.

My name is Rob and I am from from New Jersey, USA. I used to do 3D modelling in the early days of SolidWorks (mid 90’s) when I worked as a Mechanical Engineer. Looking forward to trying it again to see what I can make for my tabletop gaming hobby.

Our sister company (Emotis or Fillauer Composites) has a WardJet Emerald 1530, 5 Axis Infiniwinder. They just recently acquired it so I haven’t gone over to see it run but I’ve heard all about it. Pretty neat machines.

Hi, my names Steve.
My SnapMaker arrived last week and I’ve had fun getting it set up and working. Just looking for some “proper” stuff to print.
Only issue I’m having is that the CNC and Laser don’t seem to work without plugging directly from PC to the Maker, it won’t allow me to upload G-code without connecting a port. Is anyone else having the same problem?

That is great, as a newbie I am only a couple ahead of you. I have also played with the… a lot more to try on other media such as wood, leather and acrylic. Yet to try the CNC.
It is great fun and with a purpose.
Have a great week

Hi @budrose
I am Doug, a newbie and there are many of us. You will find like the rest of us this is a great tool, I have already printed a bunch of projects from www.thingiverse.com I am in the process of learning Fusion 360 to design my own parts. The Laser etching is brilliant and I am yet to tackle the CNC engraving… many of us are learning and we are also benefiting from a number of the more experienced users on the forum
So…keep having fun
Doug
