“Use the Snapmaker components in any order; etch an image with the laser then swap laser for the CNC and carve out elements of the image, or CNC carve then laser etch.”

Have you thought of setting up a repository on your web site that contains the design files that people can download from and contribute to? for each of the Snapmaker components 3D Printer, Laser and CNC

Yes！ That’s the exact perfect idea and we want to do it so much!
Now there are so many things need to do to make sure the production works well that we have little time to build a creative community. After the production and we make sure all the products have no serious problem, we will begin to do it!

I agree, firstly put all your efforts into getting a quality product out the door then start all those community support services after; we can all improve and grow together.
Keep having fun.

Hi @dmon
As a newbie I set an aspirational challenge (hahaha). I am still learning. I have used the laser for a few weeks, now the 3D printer for a few weeks, next the CNC then I might just have a go at a combined project.
Feel free to jump in and have a go; many of us are just paddling around having fun as we learn.
Take care and have a great week.
Doug
Ok. Here’s a PEC idea.
Carve a very narrow grove (the width of a bead of printed material) to be inlaid with Printed material. That might be something like hair on a person, or wiskers on a cat, the major outline of a picture or graphic, Then laser etch other details around the inlay. There could also be details of the picture or graphic that are 3d carved too.
