Please continue this series! I would love to see a full design to print/CNC/laser tutorial starting with Fusion 360 for all 3 processing options. The videos you have for 2.0 are great already, but I am very new to 3D print/CNC/laser engraving, so the part that confuses me the most is the design part. I guess going from CAD to CAM to Gcode. That would be really helpful for me and I’m sure a lot of other newbies!

These videos are really good. Keep up the good work!

[@SamuelRowan]

This stuff is amazing!

Thanks Snapmaker, I managed to do the machine in the bud, it was not easy but I did it and I can be proud of myself!
This is so cool !!

[@Snapmaker]

Nice work! Thank you!

Dearest, always fascinated by 3D printing and management software, I was wondering if and when it is possible that from a drawing "d on paper you can go directly to a 3dd (stl) without being experts in Cad software etc."
I have always held back to buying a 3D printer for this very problem and I tell you this as I am very good at drawing by hand and I would like to be able to make my models without having to ask anyone to be able to make it.
I hope for your positive response. Thank you

Can custom toolheads such as a penholder, or an E3D "standard" hotend/extruder be used?

[@Snapmaker]

Yes, you could use both a customized penholder and a E3D extruder on the Snapmaker machine.

[@jambay4785]

is good info/video but I'm a Blender fan :)

[@Snapmaker]

🤣

[@ericlotze7724]

Can custom software such as "Octoprint" and custom slicers etc be used?

[@Snapmaker]

Yes, as long as there is a G-code file readable to a Snapmaker machine.

Why does the cube need to encase the machine?

[@Snapmaker]

Because the cube was designed to contain the machine model, so the cube should be at least larger than the compact machine parts that we showed in the video, or the egg capsule you print out will not be able to contain all the machine parts. Hope this could help : )

So, where are the links to the files?
