Snapmaker 2.0 350

Recommended Posts

I am considering buying a Snapmaker, for various items for the household and perhaps to sell. Two of the things I'm looking at are replacement driver diaphragms and horns. I realize that a horn shape might be difficult to print, especially for anything above tweeter size. Also realize that the plastics available for 3D printing might not be suitable as diaphragm replacements for phenolics.

So, anybody with speaker-specific experience with a Snapmaker?

Thanks

Not to put a kabash on what you want to do but you might save about 50K by just buying the new horns. I was in the plastic sheet extrusion business for many years and the problems you will face are extensive. I did purchase a small 3 axis machine when they first came out and after recognizing it's limitations I returned it.

Thanks but the speaker aspect is just one of the things I'm contemplating. As we've learned with other hobbies before, buying such a machine (and the home shop wish book items that were its predecessors) creates an expensive domino effect of having to buy more and more accessories, move stuff out of the garage into a shed we would have to buy, you see where this is going.. no conceivable ROI in my lifetime. If I could find a biz model that would even break even it might be worth try. My speaker experimentation days are almost over anyway.

 

I do need to research how the Snapmaker is as a CNC machine, most info I've seen is discussing its 3D printing capability.
