Is there a submission category for laser engraved creations? I only see submission category for laser engraving tips.

[Fishbone3D]

It says “Laser & CNC Engraving / Cutting Tips” Notice the ‘slash’?

[Bijan]

That phrasing seems like it’s related to lasering and cnc’ing tips

[Zoe_M]

yes,laser engraved creations are definetly welcome.

A small tip: Make sure the Snapmaker laser or CNC machines are got in the shot.

By the way, your forum avatar is super cute~

Hello everyone, here are two images of my new Snapmaker U1. Although I haven’t spent much time with it yet, every print so far has been flawless.
