[Voidoids (Frankie)]

No official response yet - would appreciate some feedback from the dev’s.

Thanks

Snapmaker 2.0 A350 Rotary Attachment re-visited

LB_Rotary_test_line_360.txt (1001 Bytes) LUBAN_Rotary_test_line_360.txt (1.3 KB) After a significant hiatus, I noted some changes to the broken setup for the Snapmaker Rotary Module (added a B axis option) so grabbed an upgraded license to test this out. Sadly, it’s still broken. Whilst the Rotary setup in LB works as expected when hitting the ‘TEST’ button, the generated g-code does not. @LightBurn - I know the number of Snapmaker users is probably small, but as you came so far in supportin…

I’m active mostly on the snapmaker forum, but I figured I’d create an account here and help those I can over here. I’ve written a couple guides on using the rotary with lightburn and have had a lot of good results. The two guides are as follows:

Standard guide to generate proper gcode and use the USB drive and setup on the machine itself:

Lightburn + Rotary Guide

Absolute full control guide, not really recommended to start out with and is sorta complex, but great for repeating projects.

Welcome and thank you!

[Skreelink (October Grey)]

Thanks for the welcome.

EDIT: Awe I got marked as spam for linking to my guides and hidden.

[Rick (Technical Evangelist)]

Fixed. Should be good now.

Welcome! Happy to have more Snapmaker folks around. We have some incoming as Support machines. The Artisan, in particular. About to order it, anyway.

[Skreelink (October Grey)]

Thanks, it’s hard being a new user with guides explicitely on another site.

[Skreelink (October Grey)]

Thanks! I’d absolutely love to tinker and write guides for the Artisan, but it’s just… waaay over my current price range, had to settle for an XTool D1 Pro 10W for now (mainly because sale + coupon). Maybe my current 2.0 series guides can work with the Artisan?

[ColinW (Colin Worobetz)]

I’ve passed along a link to the Support team member getting the Artisan for review

[Obicom (Dirk Oberhaus)]

Any news here @ColinW ? I am also a snapmaker Artisan user and bought a Lightburn license to work with it. To normal mode is working more or less fine, after some configuration but still problems with the rotary module of the Artisan. The “Test” sequenz spins the rotary (in the settings I can only choose Y-Axis or B-Axis. I chossed the B-Axis but problem is, I can’t use 360°. It shows 360mm/U) If I try to laser something, it moves the x-axis what should never happen. X-axis must be in the middle position all time long (and only rotary should spin). Any idea what the reason could be?

[ColinW (Colin Worobetz)]

We still don’t have a device on hand, they expect to ship in June

[Obicom (Dirk Oberhaus)]

Any advice to my problem? Why I can’t choose the A-Axis? @ColinW

[ColinW (Colin Worobetz)]

I suspect a change needs to be made on our end, which we can do once we have a device on hand for sure. I’ll pass this through our Developers and see if we can fix it before then.
