You have not been reading the forums, and are probably a troll.

Just because his experience hasn’t been the same as yours doesn’t mean you need to attack him. Keep the conversations civil please.

Congratulations to your son. He has excellent attention to detail and will go far with skills like that.

Ladies and gentlemen, that is how you behave on the Internet. :slight_smile:

FRIST: I do not read the forums, I need my time for more important things …
Troll??? (like Donald Trump … all the news, he does not agree, are fake news!)

I am not happy with all. But for me it is clear it is a brand new device. Some small problems I have too. I am not happy with the laser generally. To use this, this is chaos! I found already some software problems with the mill, but I solved it by adapting the G-Code. With the 3D-printer I had not one problem - all I made, was close to perfect. (I did not make big parts in the moment)

In the moment I plan I big part with the mill. I will see …

For information: It is my first 3D device.

Yeah I agree…

Don’t attack me by saying ā€œMy 12 year old son has done itā€ and ā€œsometimes you have to think by yourself a little bit.ā€

Not a good way to add to the conversation and absolutely what a troll would say.
Pretty sure I just stated out loud what everyone else was thinking.

the point is some people are happy with their machines (great!!!) And others are not (witch sucks)… let’s not attack people for what they think, and let’s give people the benefit of the doubt about what they have written…

So let’s have a couple beers and drop it :beers:

Cheers

Okay, it’s a bit harsh, but I finally decided:
After Like 1.5 Years of Having the Snapmaker I will sell mine again, so if anyone of you guys is interested on an Snapmaker A350, now is the time.

Why: there are a few points. One of them is that the Snapmaker is pretty loud, I cannot run it without annoying anyone other at home, its literally everywhere hearable in 3 floors. Now you can say I could wait and buy the silent linear modules, but I waited 2 years already and they keep moving the rollout of them. Apart from that I don’t want to spend more than 250 bucks on the upgrade, which is pretty save that I have to spend more on this.
The next one is the printing quality of the Snapmaker. Last time I tried there was so much filament sticking in between the prints. So the cooling of the nozzle isn’t enough. There are many cool things about it, like that it can do 3 things instead of just one, but there are also man’s design flaws I don’t like. But i think everyone has to get their own opinion about the machine.

The Snapmaker is fully used with about 5h on the CNC module 10h on the printing module and 3h on the Laser module. Everything is undamaged apart from the printing plate on the heat bed, it has some damages on one side, the other one is completely unused. There is one linear module which I have build apart, so you might see that the metal strip isn’t entirely straight, but this doesn’t change the dust resistance of the module. (If you want to upgrade the linear modules yourself I can give you the circuit diagram from the PCB in the linear module and some test PCB’s.) Also I build the Power supply apart, but i didn’t change anything there at all.

It is located in Germany, Karlstadt near Würzburg, EU, and there is no customs needed when sending it somewhere in the EU. I bought it for about 1600€ so I would like 1400€ but there is also something to make on this price. If you want pictures or more detailed information just write me a private message.

@Herobread So… you try to claim the machine is undamaged, yet you say you damaged it. Heated bed is damaged, you tore apart a linear rail, a strip is not straight which means it’s not performing the job it is intended to do, contrary to what you are trying to claim. You tore apart the PSU, all of these things and yet you’re asking full price? The machine doesn’t even have 18 hours of operating time which isn’t near enough to even get used to the machine, or any machine for that matter.

Why on earth would you start ripping apart the machine, it’s obvious you don’t have any prowess for technology, otherwise you wouldn’t have done what you did. I’m going to be blunt, your ignorance flat out bricked the machine, you’ll be lucky if anyone even buys it at 1/4 your asking price. Especially with the warranty no longer being valid. I’m being as nice as I can, but people like you are my pet peeve. You turned it into a lemon because of your inexperience.

Ok, I will say, it’s not completely right here, so if this conversation should be moved okay. Yes, I damaged the machine by using it and yes, I might have damaged the metal strip on one linear module. And even though you did say 18 hours of operation isn’t enough To get used to any machine it is enough for me to say that the machine isn’t what I expected. I have to say my expectations were pretty high, but I think there are some things Snapmaker didn’t talk about at all. And I don’t want to give them more money just that I can operate the machine like I want to. For me it is just the wrong thing to build an air filter when I laser at most every 5 days, for me it is also wrong to build an emergency stop button that lets the machine operate normally to the next gcode command. I don’t see the point in the strategy of snapmaker, for me there are many disappointed customers out there. They should be amazed at first because If a customer is amazed he will go out and tell everyone how awesome a thing is but if it isn’t good enough, and doesn’t fulfill the needs of the customer he likely will go out and tell everyone how bad it is.
But back to the point:
For the heated bed you see where I calibrated the nozzle a bit too low so there are some scratches in there.
I don’t know if you have the Snapmaker, but I have some friends which sleep in one room with an upgraded mega i3 and I can’t sleep 2 floors away from my printer. The attempt was that I upgrade the stepper drivers by designing new driver PCBs and build these in there. I tore one of them apart to get the circuit diagram a while ago, but I made since then some more stuff on it and on printers from my friends, and all of them said that the quality of the prints isn’t very good and it is suffering from cooling the nozzle too.
To the PSU: it is well known that the PSU is more like a Jet engine than a PSU, that is why I tore apart it and tried reducing the noise even more than just getting one of the fans out, but I didn’t have a good idea to ensure good cooling and still having it more silent.

And yeah I said that I wanted 1400€ but I also said that there is something to make on the price. So if you have a good point you can write me that and you have a good chance that I sell it to you for a lower price.
