I am curious if any members here have an opinion on the Snapmaker 2 products. I have the A350 model with the enclosure kit.
For those unaware of the Snapmaker 2 machines they are multi-function (3D printer, CNC router, laser etcher) via use of interchangeable tool-heads.
While the Snapmaker 2 is not perfect at any of the 3 functions, and a bit expensive ($1799.00 for the A350) I have found it to to be a reasonable first 3D printer with what I believe is a larger than average work volume (320mm x 350mm x 330mm). The extra functions provide options for additional maker projects and I believe at least partially justify the price. While the unit comes as a kit, assembly is not difficult. It is very well packaged and arrived in good shape in-spite of some extremely rough handling by the shipping company. Another thing I like about the Snapmaker 2 machines is that they are designed for expansion - a dual extruder tool-head is planned and might be available within a year.
