Created for the “Design From Home” kind of folks, Snapmaker’s all-in-one prototyping rigs are modular, customizable, and size-fluid, going from a small tabletop accessory to a state-of-the-art fabrication lab right on your desk. The company is celebrating 5 years in the business with major Black Friday discounts on its latest products – the Snapmaker 2.0 AT models and Snapmaker 2.0 F models.
Unveiled at their 5th year anniversary, the company’s two upgraded models, the Snapmaker 2.0 AT and Snapmaker 2.0F build on their successful 2.0 line. The Snapmaker 2.0 AT adds refinements to the 2.0 and can either be bought as a standalone prototyping unit, or as a series of upgrades that you can plug into your existing Snapmaker 2.0, which already lets you do 3D Printing, Laser Engraving/Cutting, CNC carving, and even 4 Axis CNC Machining with the help of its Rotary Module. For people looking for a device that just handles 3D printing, the new Snapmaker 2.0 F isn’t a jack of all trades like the other models, but for less than $1,000, it gives you an expandable, modular 3D printer that’s reliably accurate, and is made entirely from metal for the most precise printing experience ever.
Along with the anniversary, Snapmaker also hosted ‘Welcome to Snapmaker Wonderland’, a virtual event referencing the Wonderland that Morpheus talked about while presenting Neo with the Red Pill. The event highlighted the Snapmaker machines’ ability to unleash the mind’s true potential, by letting creators build practically anything they wanted. In a world transitioning heavily towards a ‘Metaverse’, the Snapmakers firmly root you in the physical world, allowing creators to build, experiment, problem-solve, and turn ideas into products, products into businesses, and digital/conceptual dreams into physical realities.
The highlight of Snapmaker’s fabrication machines is their ability to let you alternate between a 3D printer, a laser-engraver, a CNC carver, or even a 4-axis CNC lathe machine simply by swapping and plugging modules. Just like the Snapmaker 2.0, the upgraded modules boast of a customizable assembly that lets you build exactly the fabricating tool you need, allowing you to expand or scale it down based on the size of your operation or your workspace, add a protective enclosure, or even addons like an IP Camera or an emergency kill-switch.
Let’s start with the Snapmaker 2.0 AT, revealed just a month ago at the company’s 5th anniversary. Bringing important upgrades to the already capable machine, the 2.0 AT adds an improved power module with a noise-reduction chip, and a new linear module that collectively allow the machine to operate at up to 16 decibels quieter than its predecessor. It also features a new 3D printing module with an upgraded cooling system, quick-release hot end mechanism, and improved extrusion components to elevate the printing efficiency and consistency. Compared to older models, the AT models (and even the 3D-printing F models) can achieve the same printing quality at a faster speed thanks to the optimization of the cooling system along with a fine-tuned motion controlling algorithm. The Snapmaker 2.0 AT comes as a standalone set with its signature modular design, although for creative professionals who already use the 2020 Snapmaker 2.0, the company is making the upgrades available to older machines by simply letting users swap out components to upgrade their rigs.
For people focused heavily on 3D Printing, Snapmaker unveiled the 2.0 F, a dedicated 3D printing machine that’s still open to upgrades and size expansions in any direction, letting you create a machine that works for your prototyping demands. The Snapmaker 2.0 F also boasts of the same quiet operation as the 2.0 AT, with improved power, 3D printing, and linear modules. Priced at $999, the Snapmaker 2.0 F lets you practically assemble your own 3D printing station for the price of a smartphone… and then print out smartphone cases too! If at any point of time you want to upgrade your 3D printer to include CNC machining, laser engraving, or 4-axis milling operations, all of Snapmaker 2.0’s modules plug right into the 2.0 F model, letting you easily expand your arsenal whenever you choose.
All of Snapmaker’s components come precisely machined from an anodized aluminum alloy, giving you a device that’s as robust as it is accurate. The machined components boast incredibly low tolerances, resulting in precise outputs, and Snapmaker’s own firmware like its automatic bed leveling system, or its intuitive software, the Snapmaker Luban, is easy to learn/use and work exceedingly well at allowing both novices and seasoned professionals to get the best out of their fabrication tools. Snapmaker is running site-wide discounts on its products, accessories, and even on its newest models. You can snag the Snapmaker 2.0 AT and 2.0 F at discounted rates, and even use the coupon code BYD100 for a further $100 off on orders above $1100. As a bonus, you’ll also get to join the wheel of fortune to win free coupon codes up to $599! Go ahead and build your own production line in your home… or better still, design your own holiday gifts!
Thousands of Snapmaker users are in for a surprise today as the company unveils yet another module to bring even more functionality to your fabrication-station. Released as a part of Snapmaker’s #StayFoolishKeepMaking campaign to celebrate the ‘Maker’ spirit, the Rotary Module for the Snapmaker 2.0 turns your device into a bonafide 3D printer and rotary CNC machine and laser-engraver. The rotary module unlocks a new dimension in your fabrication process, allowing you to jump from 2.5D CNC machining to incredibly detailed and accurate machined designs that look as good as (if not better than) 3D prints. Fitting perfectly into Snapmaker 2.0’s diverse ecosystem, the rotary module unlocks a new world of functionality, prototyping, and opportunity to the already-versatile machine. The Snapmaker 2.0 was designed to democratize in-house prototyping by simplifying professional-grade tech to make it consumer-friendly (you can read more about it here). With the new rotary module, the user is empowered further, and is given new opportunities to put their ideas to the test.
The rotary module belongs to the Snapmaker’s modular ecosystem, integrated seamlessly into the Snapmaker 2.0’s workflow with a snap. It replaces the flat-bed attachment and can work in conjunction with the CNC module to give you a 4-axis CNC machine, the 3D printing module to let you print on curved surfaces, or even the laser-etching/engraving head to let you laser-carve artworks on cylindrical or curved surfaces. The module comes with a swappable 3-jaw chuck that can clamp inwards or outwards, along with a dedicated tailstock that gives you extra stability during precise operation. The module also comes as bundled with Snapmaker Luban, a custom software that offers an intelligent, visualized G-Code generated workflow to help you set up your projects with ease. Calibrating your machine is simple too, with Snapmaker’s Original Assistant (on its screen-module), you will be guided through the relatively easy process.
Like all of Snapmaker 2.0’s components, the rotary module is precisely machined from an anodized aluminum alloy, making it lightweight yet high-performance. The rotary module comes in two sizes for the A350 and A250, and ships in a bundle along with Snapmaker’s Emergency Stop Button which lets you instantly stop a job in the event of an error or an emergency (the Emergency Stop Button is also separately available as a standalone module). Moreover, the rotary module builds on the infinite capabilities of the Snapmaker 2.0 ecosystem, while also promising to be compatible with all future Snapmaker 2.0 modules that the company releases. Yes, you can take our word for it (we’re not pranking!)

Easy to Assemble
3D Printing Highlights – Auto Leveling
Bed leveling is a tricky process, especially for a large heated bed and inexperienced users. To make bed leveling easier, we added an auto-leveling function. An induction sensor can probe the bed in a grid and apply mesh-based compensation that ensures you print on a level bed every time, all without the user having to go through complicated process.
Filament Runout Recovery
Equipped with a filament runout sensor, those who are looking to print a large object can now print without fear. This will prevent unfinished prints and “air printing”. Once it realizes that the filament has run out, the touchscreen will notify you to load a new filament and allow you to resume printing immediately.
Upgraded Cooling System
With Snapmaker 2.0, you can print objects with deep overhangs and get a more smooth finished surface! Cooling is just as important as heating when it comes to FDM 3D printing. For the Snapmaker 2.0, the cooling system is re-designed to cool the print in the most efficient way.
Flexible Platform
Removing a print is now easier than ever. Just lift the plate and flex it, no matter the size or shape of your print. As the heated bed uses a magnetic design, you can easily remove and put back the print sheet, or change it with the laser cutting work table or CNC carving in one minute.
Laser Highlights – Built-in Camera
The built-in camera allows you to preview your design with whatever material you use. You can edit your design and precisely position it exactly where you want it to be. What you see is what you get!
Draw, Cut and Capture
Laser cutting can be as easy as drawing. The Snapmaker 2.0 can recognize and transform your drawing into a vector image for laser engraving or cutting. Furthermore, you can edit the converted vector image directly in the Snapmaker software to fit into all your creative projects!
Faster Engraving
Faster is better. We added the Line (Normal Quality) mode to provide you a fast engraving option for grayscale images. This feature can save you hours when engraving big grayscale images. The quality is still very good compared to the original Dot (High Quality) mode.
Aluminum Grid Table
The Aluminum Grid Table is specially designed to prevent damage to the bed by defocusing the laser beam during cutting. It is removable and super firm.
CNC Highlights – ER11 COLLET
Snapmaker 2.0 features a fully upgraded CNC module. Using the standard ER11 Collet, it guarantees a better concentricity that allows for faster CNC carving speed and larger step down, which saves your time significantly.

Wasteboard and Clamping Kits
Each Snapmaker 2.0 comes with an MDF wasteboard. It’s removable and it can protect the bed from damage as well as providing a smooth and leveled surface for precise CNC carving. Furthermore, you can use the provided aluminum clamping kits to hold down the materials more easily and more reliably.
Dust Resistance
Snapmaker 2.0’s linear module has been upgraded for easy maintenance. The leadscrew, driver chip and precision parts are completely enclosed in the aluminum alloys housings. It eliminates the problem of dirt accumulation, resulting in better durability.
Practically every prototyping tool you’d ever need exists within the realm of the Snapmaker 2.0. In its second, more expansive, open, and fine-tuned iteration, the guys at Snapmaker have put together an absolute prototyping powerhouse that literally takes up not more than a square that measures 3×3 feet. The modular device can be built to run as a 3D Printer, a Laser Engraver/Cutter, and even a 3 or even 4 Axis CNC Machine. The Snapmaker 2.0 isn’t a product as much as it’s an eco-system… a set of opportunities. An ability to practically fabricate anything you want!
At the heart of the Snapmaker is its complete metal construction and modular nature. Metal allows you to have near-perfect tolerances, it can take heat, and it’s the choice for any product that’s as heavy duty as a fabricating system. Snapmaker’s metal construction ensures its ability to perform to precision, while its modular nature gives it the ability to do any sort of fabrication you’d need. Designed to be faster, smarter, and even larger, the Snapmaker 2.0 can handle bigger projects than its previous iteration, and can deliver quality faster. Snapmaker 2.0’s modular build allows you to put together the product you need. Within a couple of minutes, you can assemble a fully-functional 3D printer that can also do laser engraving or CNC carving, just by interchanging heads and adding extra elements like a spool (for the 3D printing filament), or a vice (for CNC machining).
Snapmaker’s software guides you through the whole (incredibly simple) process. It provides a host of features that make it easy for a consumer (with relatively no skill or understanding of software) to operate it. The touchscreen interface on the Snapmaker 2.0 can alert you when the filament runs out during 3D printing (and even pause the build till you change it), while CNC carving, Snapmaker 2.0 allows any consumer to easily switch between drill bits (a task that earlier required a CNC expert), and the laser engraving module comes with a camera built into it that captures your product and lets you preview what your laser art would look like on the product, right in Snapmaker’s interface. The entire device even comes with an auto-resume feature that allows you to continue working from where you left off if there’s ever a power cut. Snapmaker can automatically recognize which tool head (3D printing, laser, or CNC) that is attaching to the machine and shows the relevant control panel on the touchscreen. The workflow and UI is simple and intuitive.
This ability to use pro-tools with just simple know-how makes the Snapmaker 2.0 an absolute game changer, giving you the power to fabricate prototypes, and even make your own products, toys, and craft materials in your own home. Perfect for freelance industrial designers, engineers, artists, craftspeople, and even in office setups like studios, teams, or start-ups, the Snapmaker 2.0 is a pretty powerful tool to put your ideas to the test. Its modular setup lets you build exactly the fabricating tool you need, allowing you to expand it, add an enclosure, or even modules like an IP Camera or an emergency kill-switch. Designed to empower you to build your ideas, the Snapmaker 2.0 brings seriously capable and powerful professional tools to anyone with a creative inkling. Go ahead!

It also supports over one hundred carving and cutting bits. The diameters of the bits range from 0.5mm (0.020 inches) to 6.35mm (0.250 inches).
Wasteboard and Clamping Kits
Each Snapmaker 2.0 comes with an MDF wasteboard. It’s removable and it can protect the bed from damage as well as providing a smooth and leveled surface for precise CNC carving. Furthermore, you can use the provided aluminum clamping kits to hold down the materials more easily and more reliably.
Dust Resistance
Snapmaker 2.0’s linear module has been upgraded for easy maintenance. The leadscrew, driver chip and precision parts are completely enclosed in the aluminum alloys housings. It eliminates the problem of dirt accumulation, resulting in better durability.
