IKEA Storage Box Just Happens To Make Great Printer Cover

The Snapmaker U1 3D printer is an impressive machine for the price, but [Beaver Works] found the optional factory-offered top cover a wee bit expensive for his tastes. The solution? 3D print a fixt…

I built moonlet 🌙: a little screen showing my printer's live status (progress, layers, ETA, ...) via the Moonraker API using a Waveshare ESP32-C6-LCD-1.47.

Designed a snap-together case in FreeCAD. It snapped the screen during assembly. Redesigning the enclosure from scratch and ordering a fresh board.

Until then: https://github.com/tobijkl/moonlet

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

I've recently talked with @elgosz who brought up to my attention a 3D printers company I've never heard of: #snapmaker.
While there're not fully open-source, they are still more leaning towards that than some other companies, and they offer quite some innovative machines. Have you ever heard of them? Do you own one of their machines?

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? 🤔
