SnapMaker 2.0 - Pen Attachment

Snapmaker Showcase
1

Simple z axis holder for pens and markers. Designed around the SnapMaker 2.0 but I believe it would work for the SnapMaker 1 as well.

It has two pieces. The mount which connects to the x axis, and the holder that connects to the linear bearings.

I used M4 Allen (Hex/Inbus) Socket Thumb Screw Knob Cap by GuySie - Thingiverse for the m4 cap screws.

Hardware can be found here.

3D Print Files for Pen Sled

PowerShell Script

The PowerShell script is a great example on how to find the SnapMakeron the network and send commands without having to have a 3d print, cnc, laser module attached.

Very cool. I like the powershell scripting! How would you suggest generating the gcode/cnc files? Does your powershell work on PowerShell Core (so I can try it from my Mac)?

I cover gcode in the video, and I am unsure about powershell core.

I use Vetric Vcarve for multi pen and was able to use the snakmaker software pretty well for a single color.

Nicely done !
Everything seems simple but I can see the amount of time behind the scene.
How do you get the information to build the powershell script ? Is this a standard behavior (the discovery broacast) or did you analyse (wireshark) the com between luban and the SM2 ?
Congrats again

I studied the luman code and saw the broadcast function and searched on how to do the same in powershell.

Thanks for the positive words.

Hallo Tech, Super project. I made the pen plotter, but now comes the hardest one for me.
How do I get program “snapmaker_pen.ps1” with powershell working along with my Windows10 computer, Luban and Snapmaker A250?
Who will help me on my way?

I looked it up on the web and it’s now clear to me how to handle Powershell, the Snapmaker, and Luban. Next step to see if it also works with the latest update of the Snapmaker firmware.

Everything works as expected. Use svg-files.
