Snapmaker discontinues the 2.0, J1 and Ray: firmware fixes until 2029

On 29 October 2026, Snapmaker moved three product lines to “End of Life”. They are no longer manufactured or actively sold through official channels. According to Snapmaker, remaining stock is still available from selected official stores and resellers while supplies last.

Which machines are affected

• Snapmaker 2.0: A150, A250, A250T, F250, A350, A350T and F350, plus the 3D printing, laser and CNC modules, the Quick Swap Kit and the Bracing Kit.
• Snapmaker J1 and J1s: the IDEX printer with two independent print heads.
• Snapmaker Ray: Ray 20W and Ray 40W, the machine body and enclosure, and the 2, 20 and 40 W laser modules.

Snapmaker says the products have reached the natural end of their production lifecycle and that it wants to focus resources on new platforms. According to the post, the U1 tool changer and the Artisan 3-in-1 machine remain in the range.

What continues for owners

Snapmaker stresses that the end of production does not mean the end of support. The commitments in detail:

Area	Period according to Snapmaker
Software (bug fixes, compatibility)	until 29 October 2028
Firmware (critical fixes, security patches)	until 29 October 2029
Warranty	under the terms in effect at purchase
Spare parts, repairs, support	during the applicable support period, subject to parts availability
Manuals, downloads, documentation	remain online indefinitely

There will be no new features or add-ons for the three lines. The dates apply to the product line and do not restart with a later purchase. Snapmaker also says it cannot guarantee compatibility with future versions of third-party slicers.

Buy spare parts early

Snapmaker itself advises owners to buy important spare parts in good time, as availability may vary by region. According to Snapmaker, the firmware source code for the J1/J1s, the 2.0 controller and modules, and the Ray is publicly available.
