Wanted to share some insiders info on this, as I’ve been one of the lucky participants in close pre-release testing. I had the bracing kit and standard CNC module to test. It was fun, we had to follow instructions and run test files with 3DP, Laser and CNC.
Here is a slow motion of how bracing kit affects the bed move. Keep in mind - the machine I used receives regular maintenance. But you can still see the difference.
Everybody in the group agreed that the bracing kit improves things dramatically. Of course, if you put a few pounds on the furthest edge, things will flex. But in real world such load never occurs.
It took me about an hour or so to install all the components, basically plug and play and no update for the firmware needed in my case. People with 200w module on hand had a special firmware for this.
No special tools, no extra drilling, easy. All axis included.
There was a lot of feedback. I mean a ton, from every participant. Snapmaker team listened and most of it you see in the product being release. From price point to the smallest details about PM wheels.
Feel free to ask questions if you have any.
