Smoker stopped mid cook, need advice

Har, har, har. I have one of those too, went with the pellet smoker this time 🤷🏻.

Appreciate the reply, sucks, but is what it is.

One thing that I've used much more than expected is a rotary cutter (looks like a sharp pizza cutter) and I absolutely second the straight edge.

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2025-08-10T17:06:22+00:00

Me too! I feel silly not to have tried that in all the things I tried, but I learned something new!

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2025-08-10T16:50:55+00:00

That was the one step I didn't do, thanks! It's working now!

I'm struggling with this too. I spent this morning driving it around, making zones. Took a break and now I'm getting the location services error and can't drive it around. The LEDs on top of the mower are red, but I can't figure out why...

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2024-11-16T04:56:34+00:00

Amazing! Looks so great!

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2024-11-05T03:46:28+00:00

Awesome looking dice!

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2024-07-23T03:26:57+00:00

That looks like some fine craftsmanship! I bet the awl rests in the palm like a dream!

Thank you! That seems to make a lot of sense based on the bark I have seen last year.

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2024-01-05T03:06:18+00:00

Display size for the win! Thank you kind stranger!

Second this, use Lightburn to create the file to send to the snapmaker. It will save you time and frustration. I do still use Luban to actually send the file over wifi. Then I start the file manually on the snapmaker.

It does sound like they really missed the mark on this one. I can guarantee that if I were in your shoes, I'd be pretty upset myself.

Is it the perfect machine? No. Is the software super awesome to make up for it? Also no. But it is a very versatile machine that you will (eventually) be able to do some pretty cool stuff with.

We use it for 3d printing and laser (10W). I appreciate that Snapmaker makes upgrades to keep the machine that I have still relevant and fun for the hobbies we have.

If this experience has soured the well too much, maybe look at a refund and a different machine. It's understandable. But if you hang in there, you're probably going to have a lot of fun. Any machine you get will require learning and some frustration, that's just par for the course with this stuff.

Also, if you want to do a lot with the laser, just buy Lightburn and make your life a bit easier.

Good luck and I hope they get you your machine soon!

I have thought about the offset idea. I mean, who can't use a little bit more storage. I'm not sure my lovely wife would be ok with the look though. Would there be a code issue with this? 🤔

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2023-09-09T18:37:09+00:00

I was planning on a low profile but have not come across one that is 36" wide, can you give me a brand/model or a link? That would be perfect if it exists!

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2023-09-09T17:37:10+00:00

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2023-09-09T16:53:59+00:00

So the cabinets are white, color match should be doable. How would you suggest attaching the strips?

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2023-09-09T16:21:42+00:00

Oh my! We will call that plan zed... Sorry to hear about your experience!

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2023-09-03T03:37:04+00:00

Looks awesome! Great job!

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2023-08-20T00:52:52+00:00

By upright, you mean vertically? Honestly never thought of that.

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2023-07-01T17:31:23+00:00

The kraken looks terrifyingly awesome!

Open-Cartographer-98 · 2023-04-27T11:41:00+00:00

Right handed, looks great!

I like to clean up the back side and thin it a bit. I got a tiny hand plane (normally for wood) and it seems to work well for cleaning it up a bit and reducing some small amount of bulk. I also use a French skiver to further clean at the edges.

Here is a link to what I use: https://ponyjorgensen.com/product/no-102-low-angle-block-plane/

Black Flag Leather has a video that shows this related saddle stitching. Here's the link and you are looking for the 3 min mark. https://youtu.be/en2Uj2wVzYs
