The longest I've printed for is 4 days. The only thing to check on is when it comes back down after refilling. The nozzle will be hot so a small string of PLA might come out and angle weird when it continues but you can always grab it off before it goes down all the way. Best of luck with your 3D print!!
@@RyanTuscher Today I had both an unexpected power outage after printing for about 20h; recovery worked fine (outage lasted about ten minutes), but then it ran out of filament just a couple of hours later. I didn't have a new spool ready, so by the time I had finished work and bought a new spool a few hours had passed... and now it won't load the filament. Seems the upper tube/opening just below the feeder gear is clogged, so I guess I will now get to know just how the 3D printing toolhead on the Snapmaker 2 is built... wish me luck!
@@RyanTuscher thanks 🙂 Nozzle was completely clogged, but I didn't have to disassemble: After some googling I cranked nozzle temperature up all the way (started at 250, eventually increasing to 275), and slowly most of the material oozed out of the nozzle. There was a bit stuck in the very top of the feed tube just under the gear; I managed to tease that out using a long, sturdy needle/pin. Unfortunately I didn't realize it was clogged until it had done almost one complete layer, so when I eventually got it to continue it appeared to work, but when it was done it turned out there was practically no adhesion at all between the first half of the print and the rest, so in the end it was a failure, though an educational one. On the upside, my next print - my first attempt with TPU - was a resounding success 😁
That is definitely an annoying thing. Glad you were able to learn more about the machine! I've been thinking about using TPU one day for something so I will be doing some learning soon myself hahaha! Enjoy printing now that everything has worked itself out!!
It is a really cool machine! I mainly use the 3D printing but want to get better at the CNC and laser engraving. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it when you receive yours. :D
Good Video. I am having a strange behavior with my Snapmaker 2.0 A350 where it will start printing for a couple of minutes and (2%) then it will quit the job for no reason. Any thoughts why is this happening?
I wish I had an answer for you but I have not had this issue pop up with my 3d prints yet so I can't really give you an answer. My guess would be maybe something is wrong with the G-code or a sensor in a module. (this is not based on anything, just throwing out ideas) Though, when you get it sorted out I'd love to hear what was causing it.
I didn’t know that was even possible. I’m currently working on making a custom enclosure for the Snapmaker so eventually it’ll be in a more sound dampening box to prevent noise. Thanks for the suggestion and watching the video!
@@RyanTuscher the change of the fan itself made the PSU so silent that you don't hear it at all when the cooling fan is running. Good luck with the Enclosure. Have you checked the features of the "official" enclosure? The have put some really clever features in there.
Glad to see it's that easy, currently have a print going on for the last 5 days and it's about to run out of filament.

Wow Ketil, that is some bad luck! I wish you the best with getting everything cleaned out and hopefully everything goes right if you start it again!

Great video!! Im waiting for my Snapmaker 2.0 to come in the mail!! This video made me more excited😁

Wow. These are some really good videos. I'm loving the content
Thanks man, I appreciate the support!

I'd really recommend you changing the PSU Fan. It is a lot less noisy while printing.
