Thanks @Jade & @Riskey & Snapmaker team for listening to the community and also now offering seperate toolhead mount plates - I ordered two out of happiness about this fact, although for a simple piece of metal they are relatively expensive

@Jade Could you please get someone to look into this? It’s been an open issue since January 2022. I’ve submitted support tickets, reached out via Facebook, GitHub, etc. and it’s still not a fixed issue.
I suggested that machine should go to standalone mode instead of this inadequate prompt.
In first response from support I’ve got weird message about Luban sending g-code line by line, and that is the reason it is this way. When clearly it is not the case.
Riskey mentioned that issues on GitHub are not as potent as tickets.
Not only that, they apparently took my (and others’?) suggestion to provide an extension cable for the toolheads/heated-bed/etc. Very, very pleased about that. I had resigned myself to cutting up some spare toolhead cables and putting standard connectors on the ends just so I could get the length I needed.
I know the a150 is deprecated and officially not supported to quick swap.
Is there any chance to add support just for the heads? I know it is not possible for the bed, but as there are quite less screws thats not a problem. More the space behind the heads.
As far as I can see I have to confirm in startup for using Quick Swap or didn’t and this results in different measurement offsets for calibration and stuff. Would be also nice for a150 with hint “Just head mount” or something like that. Should be some minor change request.
Other was around; I have a350 machine just for laser, so my 10W is mounted there all the time and I Just have to swap the frames for laser and CNC with rotary module.
I now ordered a quickswap a350. Headmounts for a150 and basemounts for a350. Will firmware have problems with it? Maybe for print calibration, but also on other topics?
For a moment, I wished the manual was printed as with the Snapmaker 2.0 or the 10W laser itself, but instead you download a PDF, and have to switch between physical world and laptop screen a few times, but it’s ok. 28 pages is also a lot of paper material that could be saved.
Installing the brackets on the platforms and toolheads, as well as attaching the toolhead mount is fast and straight forward.
Now the toolheads take of course some 15mm more space, so I can no longer use the toolhead storage that I had printed a while ago. But they still fit nicely into the original foam packaging. Then you realise that you also don’t need to store the sets of screws any longer
The only larger action is, you need to take the machine out of the enclosure to redo the base platform! I thought this would be a nightmare, but actually it wasn’t so difficult to get it out of the front, once you unplug the power and enclosure cable, detach the filament guide and the screen holder, and unscrew the four brackets that attach the machine’s feet to the enclosure. One then has to put the machine on the side to redo the screws. A bit fiddly, but still quick and no point of frustration.
Then the machine goes back into the enclosure, everything back attached. Firmware update process. And ready to go. Almost! While the machine tells you to rerun the camera calibration, it forgets to tell you that the old focus calibration of the laser no longer matches, so you have to make sure you run that once proactively. I did one swap today from 3D print to laser, and I’m quite happy on the money spent, never want to see those screws again.
I hoped their own German Warehouse would get it as soon as their distributors. But one week after there is still no communication. Hopefully they send it out next week. Anyone ordered from snapmaker europe got the quickswap?
I don’t have that impression, at least FDM and CNC. The laser platform is only attached to the middle screws, which I’m not fully convinced of, but still I had no issues with all three functions. The locking mechanism is quite tight. So far cannot make out any drawback of installing the kit.
