I suppose if cut toolpaths are configurable for direction, it may be possible to create clamps that are sacrificial during any of the Snapmaker processes… a bit like tabs but on the workpiece surface. I could usefully spend a couple of full time months working on 3D printing alone. The 3D printing of anything is just something I have not tried yet the result is printing what I might need has not occurred to me. That saves me the bother of trying to make a run boundary assessment. I ensure that my software definitions are always drawn 6mm away from the edge of any workpiece shape and I transport the endmill bit at a jog height of 6mm. The newly created table with an additional 36 holes is a really valuable adjunct to workpiece holding, even where I am limited to 90mm square.

My solution was to create clamps that only intrude 5mm into the workpiece area for both horizontal and vertical dimensions. I agree that the run boundary instruction is useless as it is configured at the moment.

In addition, it would need to understand that. It would be cool if there was a plugin to recognize laser power, CNC RPM, etc. Out of the box, Octoprint recognizeds head and bed temperature, and expects those readings from your printer. The things that aren’t working are the head-specific settings and recognition of different files. Octoprint might work for transferring files already - I haven’t tried it yet.

Having to go back and reset the engraving settings on each text block and all the hole cut settings was a real pain. snaplzr file, none of my processing settings had been saved. I engraved the number of passes, speed, and incremental depth on each hole to determine which settings were working best.

These issues emerged when I was developing a simple test file of a series of 12 mm holes. For example, the text sizes get corrupt and text elements have to be completely deleted and recreated, processing options aren’t saved in a. I also started with laser and some of the issues with Luban have pushed me toward other software.
