A place do discuss IDEAS for different Modules (i.e. the 3D Printer, Laser Engraver, CNC cutter) This is just meant to be a brain storming place. The good ideas worth expanding on should start up a topic on their own.

[image] sethbrower: For the CNC tool setter. Do you know if that would help with bit changes within a specific job? Or if Luban might include a “Tool change” setting before running a secondary G-Code. Where it runs one G-code, then rises up for a tool change then runs the next G-code without nee…

Have they gotten back with you yet about whether or not a conversion kit that will turn the A350 into A500?

Sorry that I went home yesterday. The R&D team is so busy having meetings this week. Since we have not made a prototype of A500, I will update the issue here after our holiday. Cheers Edwin

@Snapmaker-Edwin Any confirmation on if there will be an upgrade kit? I’d imagine it’s quite possible. Base plate, platform, rails and beds. I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t use the same controller, touchscreen, PSU (maybe) and heads (excluding the more powerful laser of course). The PSU might n…

Going back to the new-module-ideas, this got me thinking: CNC Surface Probe from digital dial indicator I had seen a surface mapper based on the Taig CNC mill, maybe ten years ago (bookmarked as https://www.deepgroove1.com/probe/probe.htm - but the link is dead and archive.org missed it), using a …

[image] edf: Anyways, a surface mapper seems like an easy add-on to the Snapmaker. I had thought of connecting a digital dial indicator to one of the toolheads (I modified the 3DP print head to provide an indicator mount awhile back) and just running gcode to incrementally move the toolhead over…

That’s true, I was forgetting that the controller supports a standard serial connection via USB, not just the wifi-via-touchscreen. That would certainly make things a lot more simple: send the gcode to move, do a read from the indicator, send the next gcode. I think I’ll whip up a quick serial util…

I did do a little test to read out the dial indicator some time ago. This is a small code sample for an esp32 device or something like an arduino. This works with the cheap Chinese dial indicators: Arduino code to read out digital dial indicator with data output port · GitHub Usually if you want a …

I made a dial indicator cable awhile back, cranked out some sample code to talk to the SM2 the other night. Bog standard 8-1-NONE at 115200 baud. Gotta write something to talk to the indicator, but I’m a bit behind after a couple of busy-but-unproductive days - what else is new, eh? Might get to it …

[image] edf: EDIT: Probably not. Looks like these indicators need a device to drive them, so something like an Arduino has to be pressed into service That’s exactly what that little code sample I posted does :wink: I’ve used it with an ESP32 to test and it works fine. Currently just prints o…

Snapmaker 2.0 (3-in-1) Snapmaker2.0 Troubleshooting guides

Wyphorn February 13, 2026, 2:59pm 118

In my opinion, Snapmaker will not release any new Module update for their 3in1 ecosystem.

As the u1 was announced, they told us that not to delivery new stuff to the old machines:

So give your best to build some for your own, this is only thing you might get.
