Snapmaker 2.0 is a modular 3D printer that offers 3-in-1 functionalities, including 3D printing, laser engraving, and CNC carving. This high-performance printer model is a great option for creators, hobbyists, and small businesses. In addition, the Snapmaker 2.0 is the most affordable model from the Snapmaker 3D printer series.
Let’s take a look at the features of the Snapmaker 2.0 model.
This model offers a large build volume of up to 350 x 350 x 350 mm. This allows you to print larger material without compromising the quality or detail of your prints.
The Snapmaker 2.0 is popular for its versatility. It offers 3D printing, CNC carving, and laser engraving functionalities. You cause the same printer to create and design prototypes.
High-quality prints – the Snapmaker 2.0 utilizes a precision Z-axis lead screw and direct drive extruder to create smooth, accurate prints.
Easy to use – anyone can operate a Snapmaker 2.0 thanks to the user-friendly interface and large library of pre-made models. In addition, the website offers numerous guides and videos about the Snapmaker models.
Compared to other 3D printing brands on the market, the Snapmaker 2.0 series is the most affordable model. The average retail price is $1499, which is significantly lower compared to other printers with similar features and build volume.
It comes with Snapmaker Luban, which is free and open-source software that allows you to design, slice, and pint custom 3D models. The Snapmaker CAM software is also free and open-source software that allows you to design, generate G-code, and control the CNC carving process.
Other than these features, Snapmaker 2.0 comes with upgraded features that are designed to offer a seamless printing experience.
Snapmaker 2.0 has adopted the Controller Area Network, CAN, and bus expansion. A special chip in-built into the controller makes it easier to transmit messages. This allows for easy and convenient notification and the inclusion of additional ports and controls when the need arises.
The 10w laser module comes with an upgraded camera capture and autofocus feature. It also supports more than 10 materials for 10 and 20 kinds of materials for engraving. Smaller laser focus results in higher energy density, which in turn delivers high-quality works with impeccable details.
Snapmaker cares about your safety and that of those around you. As such, a gyro sensor is embedded in the laser module to ensure no lasers can come out if the module deviates from a designated position or is not installed correctly.
The 10w laser module is compatible will all models in the Snapmaker 2.0 series, and it can be used with add-ons, including the rotary module, air purifier, emergency stop button and CAN hub.
An improved motion-controlling algorithm improves the coordination between the extruder and the linear modules. This alleviates problems such as overflow, gaps, and cracks. This ensures quality is retained during moderate to high-speed printing.
Noise reduction chip – when your 3D printer is running, certain parts of the machine produce varying levels of noise. However, the linear modules on the Snapmaker 2.0 will substantially reduce the amount of noise produced, thanks to the TMC2209 stepper motor driver chips embedded.
Lead optimization on the linear module – Snapmaker does not sacrifice speed for quieter printing. Snapmaker accordingly adjusts the leads of the X and Y axes’ screw rods from 8mm to 20mm. This helps to ensure a stable and fast working speed.
Power module improvement – the new power module in the Snapmaker 2.0 models comes with a much quieter fan, and its speed adjusts automatically based on real-time temperature. This results in a decrease in noise level by up to 16db, thus making it easier to focus on your work.
The Snapmaker 2.0 series come with several options for connectivity, including USB, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet. This allows you to control processes remotely and conveniently transfer files.
