GENERAL: May I pledge two or more Snapmaker 2.0 models?
Yes! Here’s how: 1. Start by pledging for a reward tier that you want. 2. Add the reward price and additional shipping cost for the additional rewards to your pledge amount manually. 3. Two months before delivery, we’ll invite you to complete your Reward Survey. This survey will let you choose and confirm any additional Kickstarter reward items you’ve selected, and set a delivery address etc. Then we’ll arrange the package and delivery of all your rewards correctly.
PS. We will ship all of your rewards at the same time if you back multiple models using one account.

GENERAL: When will the Snapmaker Add-ons (Enclosure, Lights, Emergency Stop Button, Handwheel, IP Camera, etc.) and other upgrade kits (Rotary Module, XL-CNC Router, H-Laser Engraver) come out, after Kickstarter?
Snapmaker A150, A250, and A350 is our featured lineup for 2019. Backing this project means being the first to have our most advanced products for the year before anyone else. Some of the add-ons (Enclosure, Lights, etc.) will be available for preorder when you fill in your Reward Survey, approximately two months before delivery. Generally, the items that you add in your Reward Survey will be shipped together with your Kickstarter rewards. However, it’s likely that most add-ons and upgrade kits (IP Camera, Rotary Module, XL-CNC Router, and more modules.) will be available for preorder a few months after this Kickstarter campaign and these items will be shipped after the fulfillment of all Kickstarter rewards.

GENERAL: Will the firmware be open source? Will you share documents of the firmware so that we can add or change the features?
We really appreciate the help and patience from the Kickstarter and open source community. You helped us learn and grow. Now it’s our turn to contribute. We decided to open source Snapmakerjs and firmware in November when the first batch of Snapmaker 2.0 is shipped. With a plugin system, API and tutorials, Snapmakerjs enables you to easily add new features for an existing module. You can even develop new features for your customized modules. We will build a truly modular system together.

GENERAL: Is this project EU Friendly?
We will ship out rewards from China. EU backers will be responsible for the VAT, import tax and duties. Some of you suggested that we may be able to find a better solution for shipping rewards to EU backers. So far, we’ve compared a few solutions and find that it’s impossible to avoid/reduce the taxes when using a reliable shipping service. But we are eager to find a better solution if there is any. Looking forward to seeing your suggestions in the Comments page!

GENERAL: Are the modules interchangeable between Snapmaker 1 and 2?
The original model’s linear modules, the 3D Printing Module, Laser Module and CNC Carving Module can be used in Snapmaker 2.0 with specific adapters, which will be released after the fulfillment of all Kickstarter rewards. For other modules in the original model, they cannot be used in Snapmaker 2.0. All the Snapmaker 2.0 modules cannot be used in the original model.
Last updated: May 10, 2019 03:38
GENERAL: Can we edit and print/engrave/cut multiple models at the same time?
Yes. Our 3-in-1 software, Snapmakerjs, is tailor-made for your Snapmaker machines. It supports multiple models printing/engraving/cutting/carving so that you can set all the parameters and get things done in one operation.

3D PRINTING: Can A350 print with ABS?
Yes.
Last updated: May 10, 2019 03:01
3D PRINTING: Why is the relationship of the maximum heated bed temperature of the three models: A350<A250<A150?
This limitation mainly results from the balance of high performance and affordability for all three models. The heated bed needs a large amount of power supply, especially for an extremely large heated bed. If the maximum heated bed temperature of A350 is designed to be 110°C, the power module will be very big, heavy and expensive. Therefore, after evaluating the pros and cons, we decided to use a most cost efficient solution. Moreover, this design ensures a more stable performance for the all three models.

GENERAL: Do you have any plans for providing the higher laser power module add-on / multi-material add-on / single linear module add-on?
Yes. The fulfillment of this campaign takes the top priority, and these add-ons will come out gradually in the near future.
Last updated: May 10, 2019 12:00
GENERAL: Will the A150 have the ability to increase the bed and workspace size in the future?
Yes.
Last updated: May 10, 2019 12:00
3D PRINTING: Will you provide an upgrade kit to allow A350 to achieve a higher bed temperature?
In theory, the bed of A350 can be heated up to over 80°C by modifying the PCB layout of the heated bed and using a higher power power module. However, this will cost a lot. Considering the A350 can print with quite a lot of popular filament with a maximum heated bed temperature of 80°C, we don’t think that this further modification is cost efficient.

Last Updated At: 12/06/19 | See Kickstarter UpdateWhat is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
