I was wondering if there is any more word about the Rotary Module addon. I know it was supposed to come out this winter, but I haven’t seen anything about it. Is there any word on when it’s actually supposed to come out? ---

It was my understand that it was supposed to be the end of 2020. I was more planning on using it to CNC figurines out of wood. The hand wheel would be awesome too though. I wonder when all these add-ons are supposed to come out. ---

Im surprised to see they are 3d printing on the rotary module lol that seems like quite a chore. ---

Do we know if this is a true 4th axis or if it replaces X? It seems like it is limited to X being in the center but maybe it is not the case. ---

I duno. It seems really cool but everything is so inconsistent with the machine for me so far. Depends on the price point. ---

Only $549 with $50 off for early backer. $599 if you want the stop button. Definite pass for me. -S ---

> 01:37 makes it easier than ever before to set up 4-axis machining. And it does look like the x-axis is moving as well when you look closely (2:19 in the video). For some of the models I think it would be almost impossible to machine them without the 4th axis. But as we can’t use the free version of Fusion anymore to calculate the toolpaths, I wonder how good Luban will be for it… ---

I’m thinking I’ll gladly pay the extra $50 to not be the beta tester for this. Maybe if the pre-order discount was 50% off… A 7% discount is insulting, almost, for something that doesn’t even have firmware or software released for it, is 4+ months out, and is expected to be controlled by the Luban “Alpha” CNC module? ---

More than twice as much as I’d be willing to pay. Especially when they’ve done nothing to prove that they have any software ready to actually take advantage of it. I have to assume the change in Fusion 360 policy was outside their planning. -S [Next page](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/snapmaker-rotary-module/14014.md?page=2)
