Still have no idea how to set the depth or thickness of stock. Also, I imported a SVG and I can't figure out how to select individual lines for toolpaths. I also could not find this in the manual. I would hope there's a way to do this or it basically defeats the purpose of using vectors entirely. (if you really think about it, you might as well just make a raster image if you can't select individual vector lines)
we need the option in luban to also be able to select round objects, unfortunately there are currently only square templates where you can enter dimensions...it can't be that difficult to patch...
Video only showes what is obvieous anyway an doesnt need explaining, but not what would be interesting. For example how do i cut out something in or outside the line. I used other cncs before. There i used the setting "on the Path" and was able to put in an offset ( half the diameter oft the bit) so it carves the inside or outside of the line depending on a positiv or negative number.... How do I do that in Luban, or how do I rotate Objects from standig to flat, or how do I set different work Path for diffent objects in an importet path. I really tryed some time but couldnt figure out this basic things... Stuff like that should be in the video.
Just google something like how to pick up zeroes. Its the same on your snapmaker as it is on almost any cnc machine. For the X and Y axis, you can either use a pointy engraving bit to approximate your edges, or you can touch off with a live tool. Just pick a spot that you're not doing work on, move at 0.1 speed until you hear the bit just barely touch. For Z, when your tooltip hits the material, that's your Z0. For X/Y, if you're using an endmill, subtract or add the radius to account for the center of your tool being different than the edge of the flute. Its really simple, assuming you've either mastered it in the last year, or just threw it out...
how to set the image to a working stl file? I'm beyond insanity to get it working :D :') And why do I've only Relief as setting and not straight down, without the V-form ? The CNC part of the Snapmaker is so much underexposed compared to the Laser and 3D printing stuff.
Thank you for your feedback! The reason why you can only see Relief mode is probably that you have uploaded a gray-scale image (maybe in bmp or png format). You can try it again with a svg file.
My only negative for this excellent set of Video Instructions is why ruin what the narrator is telling? Drowning him out with the incorrectly made setting during post production for the mix on the music backing track in audio levels ??? The idea is to enhance the 'atmosphere' not decimate it!
Pretty horrible intro video. Background music is to loud and distracting. Way to many steps in doing carving are skipped over or missed. There is nothing describing how to do anything in this video. Its more of a promotion of what it does. I hope I can learn more from the manual because this video sucks.

Nach dem Softwareupdate funktioniert die Kamerajustierung beim Lasermodul nicht mehr. Schade !!

Video on manual calibration, would be awesome, snapmaker owner

Is 3 axis CNC possible on the Snapmaker Original?

The loud music really stopped me listening to this.
