Snapmaker Artisan 3-in-1 3D Printer

Excellent 3-in-1 3D printer. Absolutely love it – I was contemplating for over a year buying a 3D printer, but which one? Heard from different people what they had bought and their familiarity with different printers. Most were out of my price range as I was on a pension after retiring from 38 years at sea. I just wanted something that could occupy my mind as a hobbyist. January 2023, I saw a Snapmaker Original 3-in-1 advertised for $799 as it was becoming a discontinued model. By the time I had made up my mind, it had dropped to $399. Well, this was in my price range and not too big to learn on. I was hooked, but after a month I wanted something bigger. I decided to max out my credit card and buy a Snapmaker Artisan 3-in-1 with a 400 x 400 x 400mm work area. I absolutely love this machine. Snapmaker thought of everything when putting this package together. The splicing program “Luban” is constantly updated with bug fixes and new innovations. Their support team is very helpful if you have a problem and listen to any suggestion you might have to improve their software. Firmware is constantly updated. They have a web-based “Snapmaker Academy” with videos and solutions to any problem. I would have to give the Snapmaker Team a 5-star rating.
