Hello all,
ive seen some people struggle with similar stuff than i did so i thought ill share what i found an what i upgraded so far with my snapmaker.
Ill try to post links to all the models and stuff i used but i did not check if they are all the original creator nor did i check for sources for parts outside of germany.
Overall its a bit of a shame but softwarewise i didnt fins any use for Luban. I recomend:
for Laser: Lightburn - upload Gcode via Luban Workspace
for CNC: Fusion 360 - upload Gcode via Luban Workspace
for 3DP: Orca Slicer - upload Gcode with Snapmaker Uploader. https://github.com/macdylan/sm2uploader
Laser:
I) Just added some Guides to my Laserplate - nothing major.
3DP:
I) replaced Nozzles with āPrizzleā from Princore which has a Brass Body and hardened Tip. princore.de/collections/dusen/products/prizzle-druckerduse-nozzle-variante-wahlen
I tried the Micro Swiss one too which claims to be āanti stick coatedā but that was really bad.
Couldnt get the residue off even after just some PLA prints.
That cross-laser is interesting idea - Im starting to think it could be made as either temporary snap-in on bottom of the toolhead or even utilize somehow the quick-swap kit to assign it its own toolhead plate and make it as module for no need to adjust coordinates afterwards in theory and see it also during doing boundary runs and so ⦠will have to find time to try that. I suppose it should be also safe enough to power it from USB cable from snapmakerās USB port to eliminate the need for battery.
Thanks for sharing this! I also created RaiSemās CNC suction head. I havenāt used CNC yet at all though. Still too afraid. I might try this weekend or next though. Love the idea of the cross-laser. Itās one thing Iām pretty annoyed about with the 10W laser. The Z probe looks interesting too.
One thing Iām wondering is if there is a way to make CNC tool changes and recalibration easier. Iāve heard some people put in something onto their CNC bed thatās static and never changes and they use that for calibrating z again (because a design calibration spot may be milled away). Any ideas?
Also, you Germans create the coolest stuff, but they are sometimes hard to recreate in the US because of part sourcing.
@MMoosmann would you mind sharing more about your Artisan OrcaSlicer settings? It seems like there is a bug where importing your .orca_printer profile is currently not working on OrcaSlicer 2.0. I only get a single ABS Filament profile but no printer settings Maybe if you share a project with the printer-config set as project-profile?

Hello,
maybe thats a Version thing. The Profile in my first Post is from my old Orca V1.9
I did a new export with orca 2.0 and added it here.
Maybe that helps and fixes your Problem.
Otherwise report back please and we will find a way to figgure it out
Right now im still struggeling with first Layer and Bed adhesion myself.
Im pretty sure that it is a firmware thing cause im sure when you have some sort of autolevel you shouldnt be forced to dial in babysteps and fiddle around every print.
Looking at my Bambu im not happy with first layer on the Snapmaker.
Tho i have to admit i didnt have much time in the last weeks to fiddle around with the printer.
Iām very, very disappointed with Snapmaker when it comes to the CNC part. The main thing is to sell, but then thereās no further development or response to user requests. The ability to test Z is desperately needed.
Regarding your question: almost all 3.175mm tools have a small plastic ring. This should always be in the same position, measured from the tip. So, when changing tools, always push this ring all the way to the stop of the collet and then tighten it. Then the tool tip will always be at the same height.
