Happy Friday, Everyone 😻

Oh, what a week 😹 I love it when things go mostly the way they should 😻 Let's plow right into the news...

The News-news:

Our first Sidecar Program order came off without a hitch! 😸 We did have two boxes arrive late (late this afternoon), but, with those in, we're now 100% on target. Out of 11 Sidecar orders, only two remain to be picked up! 🙀 I can't wait to see how our next one goes! We'll let you all know when it's time for another order 😹

For the first time in a little while, we'll have a full-house of printers on display this weekend 🙀😹🙀 They will all be Ender 3 V3.5 Pluses, but we do have some K1 SE's on deck. Stay tuned as we bring more machines to market 😸

We're gearing up for something special for Father's Day... We're really hoping that it pans out well... Stay Tuned! 😸

We're still wrestling with issues on both of our large-format machines... 😭 The K2 Plus has been chased down to a problem with the extruder and we have replacement parts in. Hopefully, she'll be back to behaving herself in short order next week 🙏

The Ender 5 Max is a different story... I've replaced the hot end (the part that holds the nozzle and heats the filament), but that didn't make much difference. It seemed to help for two prints, then right back where we started. It likely has an extruder issue as well, and we'll keep chasing that down. 😾

I do want to let everyone know that we're going to be scaling back on production a little over the next two to three weeks so that we can focus our attention on getting our website into the shape that we need it (it's not terrible, but I'm not thrilled with it) and get our Google Maps profile sorted out so that we show up properly. We're hoping that this will only take a week, but we're hedging to be safe.

And moving on to...

🤩🥳😹😻😹NEW PRODUCTS😹😻😹🥳🤩

There's a TON to unpack tonight, so let's start with the little guys...

First, some Mini Beta Fish 🐟 and there will be more mini-pets to follow.

After a ridiculous number of attempts, we FINALLY have Highland Cows to share with you 🐂 Nothing particularly difficult about the model, just pesky bad luck and bad timing on hardware failures 🥹

Next we introduce our brand new fidget flowers 🌸 50% spinner 50% tower, 100% fun!

Last, we have a combination for our rock star-slot... We wanted to do something pretty, but fun... 😸 And you've seen a little of the bird models we have to offer... This combo makes for a pretty display anywhere... Our Potted Lilacs are the perfect backdrop to display our SEVEN different varieties of Hummingbirds! 🙀

The Lilacs are configurable, allowing for swapping in as many as 10 blossoms or bud combinations 💐 and there will be more color combinations and types to come 😹

One last side-note for the last photo of the green and blue Hummingbirds side by side - The Green Hummingbird is an example of our new Ferrous Metal and Burnished Copper Metallic filaments, and the blue is sporting our Titanium Blue Metallic with our new Copper-Silk filament. Don't they look fantastic?!? 😻

For now, it's time for me to get back to work on printers. Come see us tomorrow in Building 3, #72, 73, 74, and 31 - at the Tri-Cities Flea Market. If you're coming in the front door, look for our blinking sign in the distance, all the way down in the corner where you turn towards building 4, right across from our incredibly awesome new neighbors, Sweet Talkz.

Coming in the back door, turn left, go around the corner, and you'll find us right across from Bill's Coins/ Kingsport Coin and Jewelry.
You guys Be Safe, watch the weather (sunny and warm tomorrow in the low 80's after overnight-into-morning rain - and stay alert for flooding!, followed by a carbon-copy of the nice parts with low-80's and sunny on Sunday), and we'll see you tomorrow 😻

A quick reminder for everyone, we will be at the market tomorrow from 10am to 3pm 😹 Come by and see us if you're in need of filament. We'll be restocking with the new order that just came in.

For all of our Sidecar customers, expect your orders to be ready to go home by Noon-ish. We'll update everyone if that changes.

See you guys tomorrow 😻

We're in the process of getting our orders in for our Sidecar Filament! If you still want to participate, you have until 8pm tonight to get your order in!

In case you're not familiar, our Sidecar Program allows you to order filament along side our store orders at a great discount. The rules are that you must order in increments of 7 (a shipping case) and there's no limit to how many 7's (14, 21, 28, 35, 42, etc.) that you can order. You can mix & match both color and type of filament as long as the final amount you order is a multiple of 7!

PLA+ / PLA Matte = $13
PETG = $13

Happy Friday, Everybody 😻

It's been another... interesting week, but a good one, too 😹

Let's dive right in to the News-news:

Let's end the news with a high note, so we'll start with the not-fun stuff.... 😿 Our intrepid print-farm-manager-hero is still fighting hard with both of our large-format machines. Both the K2 Plus and Ender 5 Max are still being exceedingly difficult 🤬 to the point that I'm considering new careers for them... Their choices are boat anchor or traffic cone 👿

To make matters worse, three out of four of our new Ender 3 V3.5 Pluses for this week have issues that are requiring parts that we don't have in house 😭 That means that this week will have us with only a single printer to put on offer this weekend. This is VERY disappointing but I won't ever offer you a machine that isn't ready for you.

Turning the corner, how are we only 3 followers away from 300?!? 🥳🤩🙀🤩🥳 That's a huge milestone for us! Thank you so much for your support 😻 We can't do what we're trying to do without you!

We've launched a new program for all of our high-filament users out there - our Side-Car Program! 😹 What this does is allow you to "side-car" onto our filament orders, getting you a huge discount on your Numakers filament! The rules are that you have to order in multiples of 7, and there's no limit to how many you can order 🙀 This nets you $3 off each roll of PLA+ and Silks, while netting you $2 off each roll of Starlights. All payments are due by the day of order.
We will be putting in a new order Monday, May 25th, so be sure to reach out if you want to participate in this order cycle 😹

Before I tell you more about our new filaments (once the Marble is back in stock, we'll be up to 82 FLAVORS!!! - As always, please don't eat our filament... It's crunchy, tastes awful, and I don't want to talk about how I know that... 😳) I need to forewarn you that we had to shuffle everything around... We had to make room for a bunch of new categories.

By request, we've added a spread of single-color silks to our inventory 😸 There were a couple out of stock, but we hope to address that with our next order.

Also by request, we've added a selection of Rainbow-Gradient Silks by Kingroon (sadly, Numakers doesn't make these). As long as demand remains, we'll make it a point to keep these in stock 🥹😅

Last, we're thrilled to announce our new Metallic filaments 😹😹😹 This new addition will add a new range of options. We haven't had a chance to work with these ourselves - yet. Keep an eye out here in the next couple of weeks 😼

With all of these new goodies in stock, we had several visitors today 🙀 They made a big dent in what we brought in... Keep in mind that we're keeping Friday hours, 10am to 3pm, so don't miss out!

And now...

😹🤩🥳😻 New Products! 😻🥳🤩😹

We focused mainly on requests and special orders this week... 😸 A sweet young lady made requests for a Koala model 🐨 so we were inspired to make a few different types!

We also reloaded on Slime Balls and Freedom Chickens! 🦅

Our last reload was a long overdue one - We're back up to capacity on bees! 😹

For our new rock-star this week, we have another critter that we've gotten tons of requests for... We're happy to share our new Otter with you! 🦦

For now, it's time for me to call it a day. Come see us tomorrow in Building 3, #72, 73, 74, and 31 - at the Tri-Cities Flea Market. If you're coming in the front door, look for our blinking sign in the distance, all the way down in the corner where you turn towards building 4, right across from our incredibly awesome new neighbors, Sweet Talkz.
Coming in the back door, turn left, go around the corner, and you'll find us right across from Bill's Coins/ Kingsport Coin and Jewelry.
You guys Be Safe, watch the weather (Rainy and cool-ish Saturday, with Sunday warming up and drying - out but brace for a wet week!), and we'll see you tomorrow 😻

This is huge for the future of Full Spectrum and Snapmaker...

Bravo, guys... 🤌

🎉 Full Spectrum Joins Snapmaker｜New Color Printing Era Ahead

We’re thrilled to share a huge milestone:
Radu “Ratdoux”, the original developer of the groundbreaking Full Spectrum color-mixing technology, has officially joined the Snapmaker team to lead the next generation of multi-color 3D printing innovation. 🎨

Born from open-source community experimentation, Full Spectrum redefines desktop color 3D printing.
Instead of basic single-color switching, this innovative layer-blending technique delivers ultra-smooth color transitions while reducing material waste — perfectly compatible with the exclusive independent multi-toolhead design of the Snapmaker U1. ✨

To bring this community-driven innovation to all creators, Snapmaker will officially integrate Full Spectrum virtual color-mixing technology into Snapmaker Orca.

Staying true to our open-source commitment, the Full Spectrum project will remain under public development with an open-source license, ensuring transparent, inclusive and community-focused innovation. 🚀

❤️ We want to express our sincere gratitude to all community contributors who made this project possible, including WombleyWonders (YouTube), wildtang3nt (Discord), Hunter Cook (@ justdisgi on Reddit/GitHub), Silent (@ xSil3nt on GitHub), cheeky_b52 (Discord), Xipit (Discord), bookledge (YouTube), neotko (Discord & GitHub), Steve Lavedas from HueForge, YGK3D (YouTube), and countless makers who shared tests, feedback, and support along the way.

⏳ Coming Soon: Full Spectrum Official Beta
The official Snapmaker Orca Beta version with native Full Spectrum support is set to launch in June 2026.

Get ready for delicate color gradients, vivid multi-color effects and the future of user-friendly desktop color printing — fully optimized for Snapmaker U1.

Thank you for growing and creating with us.
The best of Full Spectrum is yet to come.
