| Enclosure QUICK START GUIDE A250 / A350 Y.3.B.A.0009-01 V1.0.
Make Something Wonderful Three years ago, when we were designing the Snapmaker Original, we broke the rules of traditional desktop 3D printers and created the first modular 3-in-1 3D printer on the market.
Happy Making Modular System This machine is built for innovators. Our goal is to assist you to make the world a better place with a machine we built with love. The difference could be something as small as a Christmas gift, or something as ambitious as exploring unknown territories of our mankind. Dream big and make it happen. Snapmaker is not only a 3D printer, but also a powerful machine that you can modify with all kinds of addons.
