My old 2020 M1 MBP sneaks in under the wire too. Since I just decided to keep it as my full time #Snapmaker controller, that makes me happy.
(It’s touchbar is flaking out which makes it problematic to resell)

So sick of Babmu Lab crap, I was considering getting it as my next core XY multicolor 3D printer, but after crapping on open source community for the second time, I'm done ... I'm now considering Snapmaker U1 and Prusa Core +/L with INDX ...

I have the #Snapmaker A350T, and many of the extra accessories, some of which I’ve never even used 😆
But I’m retired now and started to use it again. The 10W laser was a nice upgrade over the original 1.6W. We’ll see how my next few projects go. I might spring for the 20W or 40W upgrade
One neat thing about moving to Orca Slicer from Snapmaker's own turd is finally being able to automate the enclosure exhaust fan. Since I can add custom G-codes to be run at start and end of using some specific filament, I can now have the fan auto start when ABS, ASA or anything else super stinky is being printed.
full spectrum printing -is- pretty neat. Translucent filament was recommended, this here though is bog standard opaque PLA (CMYW). Now, what to do with that power? 🤔
After losing track of it in a pile of “stuff”, finally dug out my parents old Mac mini. Was thinking I could use it as a main driver for my #snapmaker, but it’s too old (2012 4GB 500GB). Oh well.
It’s all freshly installed and updated as far as it can go (Catalina) and I was able to hook up an old 500GB FW drive and confirm that was clean too.
Anyone still have a use for something like this?
I have made an extremely silly object using #freecad

A lot of 3D printer's pre/postprint sounds come from the G-code file, so changing the slicer can make those familiar sounds into something very different.
After almost 6 years of hearing the Snapmaker A350's starting sounds, it sounds so darn odd when none of the familiar clunky sounds are not heard any more.
One very noticeable difference is how it ramps down the head movement speed before stopping. Before it just stopped abruptly where it wanted, now it eases up before the stop. I believe it's this behavior that gives the noticeable upgrade in print quality and seems to almost completely eliminate the almost constant 1-2 step layer shift this thing has had.
This and the 20% speed bump have greatly breathed more life into this old behemoth. #3dprinting #3dprinter #snapmaker
