Tool Heads: Dual Extruder 3d Printing, Laser Module, Cnc Module
A fascinating and highly desired improvement In the Snapmaker Artisan 3-in-1 over the Snapmaker 2.0 is the dual extruder that now makes up the 3D printing tool head. With the help of these two extruders, the Snapmaker Artisan 3D printer can now print with various materials, including flexible filaments like TPU and PETG or PLA. A motor inside the tool head switches between the two extruders mid-print. Additionally, it means that soluble support materials like PVA can be used to print, enabling the creation of more intricate things.
Each nozzle can have its temperature, and the hot end can reach 300 °C. Evidently, the Artisan 3-in-1 is built to accommodate more demanding users and tasks due to the high heat levels. More unusual filaments like Nylon and carbon fiber-reinforced filaments can be printed at that temperature.
With a 10 W Laser Module and a 200 W CNC Module that is noticeably more potent than earlier models, the laser and CNC experiences have also been enhanced. Speed is given special consideration; the laser module can operate at 6,000 mm per minute, and the CNC machine module is six times quicker than the version featured on the Snapmaker 2.0. The laser tool head can both engrave and cut deeper "through paulownia wood as thick as 8mm," while the CNC module's power and spindle speed have increased by 300% and 50%, respectively.
Linear Rails
Snapmaker takes special pride in its linear rails. Compared to the Snapmaker 2.0, which utilized a combination of linear rods and pulleys as bearings, they are marketed as an improvement. Because they maintain a constant course and are not susceptible to vibration or wobble, Snapmaker Artisan 3-in-1 3D printer linear rails are more precise and steady. The fact that they are manufactured from perfectly machined steel and can reach "micron-level accuracy" is why it is referred to as "next-gen."
Another improvement is the installation of synchronous belts in place of the Snapmaker 2.0's lead screw. This helps maintain dimensional precision of +/- 0.1 mm even at high speeds of 150–180 mm/s.
Build Footprint And Volume
The work surface on the Snapmaker Artisan 3D printer is 400×400×400 mm, which is significantly larger than the Snapmaker 2.0 models. However, depending on the tool used, the work area varies slightly. For instance, 3D printing has a build volume of 350 x 400 x 400 mm, but CNC and laser engraving are specified as 400×400 × 400 mm, with a maximum cutting depth of perhaps 8 mm. Due to the addition of an enclosure, the new release is bigger overall.
