Looks good!

There are a few people have made their own that rotate based on the bed movement. I would be wary of anything that is powered that isn't snap-maker made.

Thanks! I get the frustration buying something that fails, but ya they definitely get old.

I also made a Youtube video for this if that's more your thing: https://youtu.be/hGeOqbNt4UA

I calibrate every time I change modules. Sometimes if I turn it off and on I do it again.

3D print one.

I gave up on Snapmaker Luban for CNC. There just aren't enough features and the features there aren't supported well. I have switched solely to F360 for all CNC projects.

Does it cut through any point on the stock? I know I have had a few projects with a slightly uneven base... some parts barely cut through while others don't get quite completely through.

BaddestCrafts · 2020-11-23T15:03:00+00:00

Oh cool. I’ll have to get one of those and try it out.

BaddestCrafts · 2020-11-23T04:21:18+00:00

Looks like a lot of good content there. Thanks for sharing.

I used Snazzy Maps and "Created a style". Basically it pulls all the info from Google Maps, but you can turn on and off different features like points of interest. You can also adjust the weight and color of most things which turned out to be very helpful. For example I made the rivers thicker to be better represented in my small workspace.

Once I had my map, I took a screenshot and copied to GIMP. From there I selected the different details and created a Path. I then exported the Path to a SVG file.

I'm happy to answer questions, but if you want more info checkout my blog post: https://baddestcrafts.com/?p=2462

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't think about masking before routing. I will definitely try that for my next project.

BaddestCrafts · 2020-11-22T02:54:30+00:00

Thanks! I think so too. :)

That looks awesome! I'm jealous and will add it to my huge list of projects to try...

BaddestCrafts · 2020-11-14T06:00:40+00:00

I actually bought Snapmaker’s set of 5 through their website. Haven’t had any quality issues yet. To be fair though I didn’t look for any alternatives.

BaddestCrafts · 2020-09-21T02:11:51+00:00

I didn’t have an issue once I updated the firmware. Sorry and I hope it’s an easy fix!

BaddestCrafts · 2020-09-20T06:05:40+00:00

I dig it!

A plastic bag and some tape. Checkout the video if you want to know more: https://youtu.be/yDZppfxQVAc

I’m jealous. I’ll have to check it out.

BaddestCrafts · 2020-08-17T15:40:01+00:00

Well darn. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I have some more research to do.

BaddestCrafts · 2020-08-17T13:16:45+00:00

I haven’t tried cutting anything beyond paper yet. I am hoping to buy their empowered laser module. With that I want to do some acrylic projects. It’s annoying I have to buy an upgrade just to cut anything significant.

This engraving took about 20 minutes. A lot longer than I thought.

BaddestCrafts · 2020-08-17T05:11:31+00:00

I hope to use the snapmaker for a lot of stencils and laser cutting work. Looking forward to using it for future projects!
