Any plans to increase the dimensions on the A350?

In reply to Kai. Some of the fan noise is caused by restricted air movement. The slots and fine mesh are too small. Remove the mesh and hear the difference.

In reply to Matt Lowe. Matt, look into OctoPi. I use it on my A350 and love it. It gives so many options and has been essential for me since my SM is in the basement. I got so frustrated with having to use the touchscreen every time I wanted to connect via WiFi and print some thing. I use it with OctoPod on my iOS devices and have full control.

Great update thanks. My only concern is with the prices for all these improvements, especially for a Kickstarter backer like me. And of course as an early adopter I would likely need all the improvements, which will end up costing me thousands. How does that even make sense when the machine wasn’t exactly cheap in the first place. Truth be told, if each accessory will cost hundreds of euros (which seems to be the case based on past experience), it probably makes more sense to buy (say) a Prusa and practically be guaranteed excellent print results as opposed to getting the upgrades at a cost of thousands to maybe see a minor improvement in print or CNC or laser quality.

Hi Snapmakers,
Just ordered the A250, very excited.
In your planification you talk about the new laser module and newly released rotary module. Do you know when the new laser module will be available and it’s specifications ? Also is there a plan about a new CNC module ? Maybe with higher torque ?
Best regards

Hi Matt, thank you for your feedback. But unfortunately mobile support isn’t on our roadmap yet. Please also send us your feedback at support@snapmaker.com so that we will have a record of all feedback. Thank you!

Do you have an approximate date to be able to buy the rotary module outside of the kickstarter?
Best regards

In reply to Evgueni Fedorov. Hi Evgueni, Robotshop indeed carries most of our Snapmaker devices and addons already. Could you clarify which parts you are look for specifically?
