Any 3D printing geeks here?

That's one of the leading Chinese cheapos out there FM. I do have my eye on it as well as a few others.
Being open source, if you want to modify , eg: dual filament extrusion, etc, it's all possible but you're on your own with no guarantee of success.
Basically everything needs to fall into place. The hardware accuracy, mainboard firmware, lcd screen firmware, software file standards, etc.
It can be quite daunting... There's a guy with 4 of these and only one is working... And he's as geeky and tech savvy as they come! They just break.
It's all part and parcel of Chinese quality control in general.

So I finally bit the bullet and bought my first 3d printer!





But in all seriousness, I bought the Snapmaker 2.0 A350.
Got 40% off on kickstarter, 10m pledged, everything ends in 2 days and they go into full production.
I get mine in Feb 2020 *yawn*.
Oh well, I'm still excited I s'pose
It comes modular with 3d printing, 1600mw laser engraving and a cnc router (no metal cutting though).
I'm just curious to see if the laser can set the neighbor's curtains on fire. No evidence! The perfect murder! I'm so genius it's embarrass!

FYI, I fired my 2.5 watt laser across the room and burned a hole in the wallpaper about 10 foot away! (Mrs Zebo was not impressed    )

what was the laser's original purpose? Or was it an ebay thing?

2.5 watt laser engraver, nice but fills the room with smoke! Needs an open window and a fan!

Dad goes to a shop that has one, and as part of the Vaux amp project we've been working on for close to a year, we're working on a "Vaux" badge for the amp. He's currently working out the kinks in the font before he turns the whole thing into a 3D project to print out.
