Just today, my printer seems to fail after heating the bed, and 75% or so to heating the nozzle. The “Snapmaker” boot screen with 3 animated dots shows and never goes away.. I was trying to print something that had previously worked before. I was just printing another. after an hour or so, the splash screen was still there and had not recovered… so i switched it off and on.. same thing… tried another file… same thing… Any thoughts?

This sounds like the problem I experienced. Have a read through this thread: [About the Reboot Screen (White Screen)](http://forum.snapmaker.com/t/about-the-reboot-screen-white-screen/1484/1) Harry. ---

ah… i went in that side panel… reluctantly because of all the “do not touch” wording on the warranty page. for a product made for makers, fixers, and doers… the warranty represents a serious misunderstanding of the target demographic. I was able to something-something the cables and it seems to work now. I am so thankful the web devs for [snapmaker.com](http://snapmaker.com) left out a store to buy spare parts, a “how to fix” section similar to what i would find at [ifixit.com](http://ifixit.com), and a troubleshooting section as a main category. 😒 i have lots of bed adhesion issues, issues where it seems like the extruder may be slipping on the filament. Overall, my Anet A8 has been a far superior printer in almost every way but looks… Kyle ---

And it doesn’t etch and carve. ---

yeah. you are right. but could probably mod it to do Pens, Markers, Carving, and etching…
