Snapmaker Original 3-in-1 3D Printer with 3D Printing/CNC Carving/Laser Engraving, All Metal, Entry-Level Digital Tool, Easy to Use Software, Upgraded Version,Printing Volume (4.9”x4.9”x4.9”)

Very well packaged. For those of you familiar with Apple products, it approached that scale of packaging.Assembly took about an hour---but was quite easy and the manual was very clear. No miss-starts or redos. Only tool needed was included with the machine.It seems well made. Bolted together well. Alignment of components was good. Materials had a good "feel" to them.Controller is unique---something like a cell phone. Has magnets to mount to machine and coiled cord to allow hand held operation.Three d printed was my first step. Printed a model I had already printed with both of my other printers. Ease of use, quality of print was very nice. Software is a bit clunky, but is built on Cura it seems, so should be appropriate for most things.Printed same model in both ABS and PLA. My first experience with ABS. Seems to do ok. Have not tried other materials. Standard set up for ABS and PLA in software. Other materials will require set up time.Printed with both USB connection to my Mac Mini and via the included memory stick. As opposed to my other printers, I feel the memory stick option actually was the best choice.Did an upgrade to the firmware without fuss.The change over to the 3d carving was quick. Kit included a couple bits. Inexperienced operator (me) promptly broke one. But over all the change was easy. Still have some learning curve, but does not seem too steep.Have not tried the laser module yet. Have ordered both the higher powered laser and the enclosure directly from snapmaker. Will wait on the enclosure to test the laser.Will update this as I get more familiar with the machine in the carving and laser mode.The 3d printer is a good beginner model. The work are is quite small---but adequate for many projects.UPDATE:NOT IMPRESSED WITH SNAPMAKER SUPPORT.Ordered $400 worth of add ons directly from SNAPMAKER on 2/5. HIT MY Bank account that day. NOTHING FROM THEM IN THREE WEEKS. WRITING THEM only gets a "high volume of email" auto response. VERY disappointed. No matter how good the machine is, lack of support will KILL them in the market place. BE very careful in considering this unit.....you likely will be fully on your own.

The media could not be loaded. Look I had problems right out of the box the power controller was not working. The printer was on all the time on and off switch did not work among many other things. I contact Snapmaker they were really nice helping me with all the problems but why should I had all this problems from a new device??

Each one of the heads broke on me within the first year of me having this machine. It’s poorly designed, it doesn’t have any rigidity whatsoever, so don’t expect to get any straight lines if you’re using the CNC cutting machine and not only that but their support totally sucks. Whenever I’ve tried to reach them because of a problem that I’ve been having they basically had no solutions except for buy a completely new one and worst of all is their app. It’s really not user-friendly whatsoever and it automatically crashes constantly. I can’t stand it if I could give this product a zero then I would.

Was extremely excited to recieve this! Everything looks about right. I opened the box and compared its contents to what I've seen on a few YouTube videos on this product. But to be honest i haven't set it up or used it yet. I've just been too busy!!! SorryOk so I finally got around to it....one word....AWESOME!!! I decided to start with the laser engraver head rather than the 3D print. It's more relevant to a small business I'm in the process of starting. So I engraved my business name and logo on a small piece of wood. The result is impressive. I'm already thinking of hundreds of applications for this.......Buy yourself a snapmaker!!!The only thing I would add, is a grid to the laser engraving bed. That would make it easier to determine exactly where to place similarly sized items for repetitive engraving. I made myself some awesome wooden business cards. I can do 6 at a time. Since they're business cards, the engraving doesnt change, nor does the position of the cards as I repeat the process over and over again. So I drew a grid onto the plate 5 x 5 mm squares with a pencil. Now as soon as 6 are done, i quickly remove them, out 6 new cards on in the exact same spot and hit the play button.
