I strongly request a future firmware update include a stop button on the touch screen be visible any time a job or remote command is in progress.
I ran a CNC boundary check from Luban, and could not stop it easily when I was concerned about inference with my work holds. (Thankfully, no collision happened.)
Agreed. Itās really unfathomable that there isnāt. And even when you hit pause or cancel or stop while itās running it sometimes goes completely through whatever operation its doing before it stops.
I was running a boundary and I had the tool cable catch on a clamp and tear the cable out of the head. I even have a power switch so I can quickly turn it off but unfortunately I was on the opposite side of the machine and couldnāt get to it in time.
Fortunately I was able to bend the pins back and use it while I waited for them to send me a new cable (non-warranty).

I did see a job cancelation button during a CNC job started from the touch screen, but I was surprised and disappointed that it required a second confirmation button for it to actually stop my job.
I keep my finger on the power switch when in doubt 
, ready for turning it off.
Yes, that flimsy switch that I canāt believe after all the design and stunning looks they couldnāt put in a better one.

I support this request! Please, Snapmaker, listen and help!
New to forum but this request makes sense for any of the three functions (3D, Laser, CNC). I have yet to receive my a350 but surprised this has not been addressed yet.
Yes, this is a major safety concern. This needs to be addressed ASAP.
@casey_farina_art theres an e-stop button, but itās yet just another command telling the controller to do something, itās not a true interrupt, nor would it be if it was on the touchscreen either.
I picked up one of these for $8.
It would be awesome if the SM team could supply the machine with something similar already fitted to the power cable. Rewiring 240VAC is not something to try if you donāt know exactly what youāre doing.
It would also be super easy to supply this as an after-market add-on: an IEC socket on a tail one side of the switch, IEC plug on a tail the other side. Plug the original power cable into the socket side, the plug goes into the controller, and you have instantly added an immediate kill switch to the system for about $15 (Aussie retail price).
Probably more efficient in manufacturing terms to put it either at the power supply end of the power cable or in the cable between the power supply and the controllerāthat way it can have specific connectors rather than messing around with regional or interchangeable electrical plugs. But yes, a fast way of interrupting the power supply seems to be as close as weāre going to get to a true emergency shutoff button. (If they want to justify charging a ridiculous price for it, just add wireless capability to produce a remote emergency shutoff for people monitoring their jobs with a camera from somewhere else.)
Iām in US so donāt have to deal with 240.
I just took an extra power cable I had and wired a switch inline.
Not that it really matters (if I sell it no one is going to complain, āthis isnāt the original power cableā) but I can always go back to the original cable if need be.
