I am in the USA and I have a Snapmaker 2.0 coming to me soon. When I need to order replacement supplies like 3D printer filament, are those supplies shipped from a storage facility in the USA, or do we have to wait weeks for them to be shipped over-seas??

The general advice here is not to order filament from Snapmaker; it’s not particularly good quality. SM has no consumables that are proprietary; they’re all available elsewhere. That said, SM has no separate US distribution that I’ve seen here. If they get successful, they’ll need one, because cust…

If they get successful, they’ll need one, because customer service is currently their biggest downfall. It’s worse than Luban, and that’s saying a lot. This is exactly what I am concerned about, and the reason I was asking. Indeed, filament is easy to grt anywhere. What if I need a new print nozz…

[image] MattSlay: What if I need a new print nozzle, or a new laser or milling head? Wait 6 weeks to ship a new one over-seas? Nozzles are standard MK8, so you don’t need to wait on that. All the machine parts, work heads, linear modules, etc., they’re all proprietary and need shipment from …

“Nozzles are standard MK8” Well, I’ve never owned a 3D printer (of this type) before, so I don’t know what “Standard MK8”, but I assume by that language, you’re indicating I could buy a replacement nozzle from various supply sources here in the USA, and it would fit and work properly… Same wire c…

[image] MattSlay: replacement nozzle The nozzle is just the little brass piece where the plastic comes out. It screws into an assembly called the hot end. The nozzle is generic; the hot end is proprietary. MK8 nozzles are less than $0.50 each in small batch quantity.

I see a link in the “store” for what must be the proprietary nozzle: [image] Extruder Hot End Kit for Snapmaker 2.0 Orders will be shipped in 3-5 business days after payment confirmation. If your order is placed with the Snapmaker 2.0, it will be shipped with your Snapmaker 2.0. One (1) E…

Anywhere from 1-4 weeks. Most stuff I’ve gotten in just around 2. Parts ship by air. Shipping still messed up by covid. So it varies a little depending on where you are and who they actually ship with. -S

robotshop.com does have a US store with some Snapmaker-branded parts and consumables, but the hot end for the Snapmaker2 isn’t on their list at the moment (they do have the one for the Snapmaker Original). It might be worth asking them if they ever intend stocking the new-generation machines or th…

I got this in an email from Edwin via support on October 28: We will ship about one hundred linear modules to the US for the replacement demands and I think you can get it quickly when those parts arrive at the US. Maybe a future of locally stocked parts is not so far fetched…

The whole assembly is propriatary but the brass nozzle can be changed. Im not 100% but i think someone changed parts of the hotens to have a all metal hotend and no PTFE tube in the leadin pipe (the silver metal rod in the previewpic on the right)
