Last year, Snapmaker launched our Accelerate with Snapmaker campaign, sponsoring racing teams, partnering with RC car designers, and running our Hot Pursuit Video Contest.

So, what did they make?

Real Car Parts. Model Cars. Automotive Artwork.

Let’s take a look:

Meet the Master


Sponsored Teams

Schumacher CLRT

Snapmaker gifted the team a Snapmaker Artisan Premium, a J1s, and large quantities of TPU, ABS, Nylon, PVA, and other specialized materials to give them everything they need to blaze a trail across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia!

And how’d it go? They took home the Porsche Super Cup and the Carrera Cup France! They also made an appearance at the Macau Grand Prix, where the Snapmaker Team, which gave us the opportunity to meet the team in person. You can watch the video here.

Every single day, Schumacher CLRT uses 3D printed parts on their cars.

3D printing allows Schumacher CLRT to replace some of their heavier metal tools and parts with lightweight alternatives. It lets them produce intricate and unique parts that simply aren’t available from traditional suppliers. The CNC and Laser functions allow for even more capabilities, like making subtactive adjustments to various pieces and adding customizations across the car.

In the photo set below, you can see a wide range of specialized fasteners, adapters, caps, unique tools, custom mounting solutions, and all manner of precision parts specially designed to make the most out of their Porsche 992 GT3 Cup, 992 GT3R and 991 GT+ Rally Cars.

Team Solaris

Team Solaris is a Solar Car Racing team from Dokuz Eylul University in Turkey. Specializing in electronics engineering, the team used the Snapmaker J1s and A250 to build PCB Boards, aerodynamic surfaces, and other specialized parts for their cars. This past fall, they took their S11 Solar Car to South Africa to take part in the Sasol Solar Challenge!

Here we’ll link to Solaris’ Instagram video where they show off how they used the Snapmaker A250 to build custom PCBs. By designing their own electronics hardware, Solaris has maximum control over their cars’ performance, efficiency, and weight.

Here we can see Solaris testing their car in a virtual wind tunnel, which allows them to simulate real world modifications to the car’s body structure. With the new design set up in the digital world, they use their J1s to print the required parts, and then install them!

This is the heart of Maker Culture – thinking, designing, building, and implementing.

And in this video we can see Solaris testing their machines, building models and novelty name plates to celebrate our collaboration!

Everidge Racing

Cassten Everidge took his his heavily modified Chevrolet SS all over the American Midwest in a series of intense stock car races – with the help of the Snapmaker Artisan Premium.

In this video, we can see him using the machine in some of his off-season projects:

Check out more from Cassten on his website, including this story from the Winchester Speedway!

Made with Snapmaker Artisan’s 40W Laser!

ATTACKER!

ATTACKER! is an EV racing team from Zhejiang University of Science and Technology, making full use of the Snapmaker Artisan Premium’s 3-in-1 capabilities to build custom parts for their racer. This past October, they took their racer to the NIO Cup in Hefei, China.

ATTACKER! used the CNC function to build special mounting brackets for the battery cooling system – while you can special order these custom parts for delivery, it was a lot faster to simply cut them out of aluminum on-site. 3D Printing was used extensively for molds for the car’s air ducts, battery box cover, and other assorted pieces. Finally, Snapmaker’s laser was perfect for building custom PCBs.

Let’s see the car in action here:


RC Cars

Snapmaker is a top choice for RC Hobby enthusiasts, including our friends Hemistorm RC, RCSparks, Soarpix3D, and more!

For Accelerate with Snapmaker, we partenered with Mr. Goodcat to produce this video on the Koenigsegg Jesko:

You can find the Car Body here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/porsche-911-992-gt3-rc-car

And the RC Car Chassis here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4892947

Also, we highly recommend watching Mr. Goodcat’s How To Video that he put together for another project on a Porsche 911:

And for an example of some of the amazing (non-RC) Model Cars our friends have built with Snapmaker, check out Duke Doks’ Back to the Future Delorean:

Hot Pursuit!

As part of Accelerate with Snapmaker, we launched a video contest, challenging Snapmakers to build real car parts, automotive artwork, and model cars – with a prize of $911!

You can check out all entries through the playlist here (the embedded video shows only the first entry but Watch on YouTube and you can see the whole list):

Snapmaker @ Formnext 2024

This year, 2024, Snapmaker headed out to Frankfurt to take part in Formnext, one of the world’s largest 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing Expos!

We partnered with our premiere Northern European Distributor, 3D Prima, to make our presence known, meet with Snapmaker fans, and catch the latest scoops from the world of 3D Printing.

Setup the day before the show started was an intense operation, but seeing the whole space go from this mess to the slick presentation hall that emerged on Day 1 was incredible.

The Bruce Lee outfits were originally just a silly idea, but after thinking it through, we decided that the bright yellow would be an excellent way to find us and make sure Snapmaker fans could connect with us. Some fans started referring to us as “The Banana Boys”.

Our table in the 3D Prima booth really started coming together when Mr. Bernd Michalak brought his gorgeous 1967 Lotus 49 1:5 scale model over, an incredible piece made almost entirely with his Snapmaker Artisan. This was quite the head turner!

It even caught the attention of Mr. Jonathan Levi (The Next Layer) who did a great job guessing exactly how each part was built and finished!

The Formnext 2024 Snapmaker Team, aka The Banana Boys (sans outfits).

The corner of the booth was stylized like the Millenium Falcon, and excellent place to take meetings or get some computer work done.

We headed over to the Polymaker booth to meet up with their Marketing and PR folks, to talk drop off the SnapDryer, where it was first unveiled to the public!

Check out the launch video for more Formnext content!

It’s an excellent accessory, you can check it out here: https://us.snapmaker.com/products/snapdryer-by-polymaker

Very grateful to have been graced by Brigitte Kock (Variable Seams), who showed off a very cool 3D Printed vest, and tested out the Bruce Lee top!

We also ran into some of our other favorite influencers, including MPoxDE, CNC Kitchen, Tech Napa, Frankly Built, and Make-o-Rama!

We apologize for missing the full group photo from the User Meetup (there was a lot going on!!), but our friend Gabriele from Italy won the special Schumacher CLRT shirt!

Checking out some of the other booths we ran into some Beer Pong …

And we even found a Snapmaker 2.0 in the French Pavillion, on display with our friends ICONIC.

And finally the Thursday Night Exhibitor Party was a blast!

See you next year at Formnext 2025!!

Cheers,

The Banana Boys

Black Friday 3D Printer Buying Guide

What to Consider When Buying a 3D Printer:

However, before making any purchase, it would be advisable to consider certain aspects provided in the 3D printer buying guide. 

  • Printing Speed: Models such as the J1s, which are high-speed, would be suitable for an individual who uses a 3D printer regularly or a professional. 
  • Work Area Size: A bigger project would be suited for more extensive work areas such as Artisan and 2.0. 
  • Ease of Use: Seek out elements such as hands-free calibration and easy-to-operate-and-use screens. 
  • Material Compatibility: Check that the chosen printer can work with the materials you intend to use. 
  • Build Quality: Snapmaker’s metal-made body design ensures durable and efficient performance. 

A 3D printer is the ultimate investment, and you should examine whether you want to acquire a general-use or a narrow-purpose machine. 3-in-1 printers (such as those manufactured by Snapmaker) come in handy as they allow for 3D printing, laser engraving, and CNC crafting in one device, saving a lot of space and providing great value for money, making it suitable for a small-scale business or individual who wants to try out different techniques.

 

Why Snapmaker is the Best Choice:

Snapmaker’s all-metal precision-engineered printers do what they are made for, and they are long-lasting. Every model has multi-functions that all snapmaker printers help combine 3d printing and more operations like laser printing and CNC, making them different from others. Furthermore, proprietary software – Luban – and excellent customer services make Snapmaker products favored by many worldwide creators.

 

Besides the 3D printers, Snapmaker also has…

Snapmaker Ray 40W Laser Engraver and Cutter:

But that’s not where the whole thing ends for Snapmaker. The Snapmaker Ray 40-watt laser engraving and cutter should be a – welcomed complement for 3D engraving and cutting enthusiasts. The device comes with an advanced 40-watt laser, a generous work area of 400mm x 600mm, and precautionary measures that are approved by the FDA, which means it is vital for engraving works but also relatively safe. Purchase other parts, such as air purifiers or Rotary Modules, from Snapmaker to widen the creative scope.

Hi Makers,

The result of the 13th Snapmaking Contest just came out! Let’s take a look at the winning projects below. 

1st Prize: Escape room prop by David Bodsworth

Escape room prop

This might not look that interesting to many people, but I was quite impressed with how I managed to make it. It’s a prop for our escape room and is supposed to look like the numbers are just written in marker pen, but actually, they are printed, so will never wear off. What impressed me more was I managed to do this with the original single extruder print head, with the black printed on the first layer and the gold printed around it, so it’s completely smooth.

2nd Prize: Pikachu wallet by prash

When I gifted my friend a yellow version of my wallet, she said it reminded her of Pikachu, so when I got my first multi-material 3D printer, the Snapmaker J1, I knew what I had to do..

3rd Prize: A 3D-printed gadget to house Apple watch charger by Graham Woof

Attached are two images of my latest multi-color print project. Only received the Dual Extrusion 3D Printing Module one week ago. It is a life-size 3D replica of the Apple logo for housing my Apple watch charger, printed in 2-color PLA.

Hi Makers,

The 12th Snapmaking Contest ended two weeks ago. Sorry for the overdue winners’ announcement! We received 66 entries this time, making the 12th Snapmaking Contest—Gifting with Snapmaker the most popular contest in 2022! And it did take us some time to decide between so many interesting works. Let’s take a look at these gifting ideas and get inspired for your next creations!

1st Prize: Floating message box by Elias BEN AMAR 

Write a message, roll it, float it! 🙂 

I created a “floating message box” as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend.

She loves waking up to these small attentions…

@Snapmaker made it possible to build this original Idea!

2nd Prize: A relief of Lago by Florian Forster

I am 38 years old and from Germany. When I was 15 years old, my father took me and my brother to Italy for vacation. Especially the north of the “Lago di Garda”. My family mostly meets there once a year to camp and ride a mountain bike and have fun together. To honor that, my brother and I wanted to create a special present for our father’s 64th birthday. So we made him a relief of the exact area where we always meet and ride mountain bikes together.

For that, I used my Snapmaker 2.0 A350 with carving and laser engraving. I started with generating the stl for that area using a tool called Terrain2STL. Then I used Fusion 360 to create the layers for carving.

And with the laser engraver, I wrote the word “LAGO” (that’s what my dad calls this vacation) at the bottom of the carving. I used multilayered wood to make a nice contrast and it’s like the contour lines of a map.

2nd Prize: Candle holder by Lilian Chamontin

The “pillar” part has been carved with the 4-axis rotative module. It’s made of 3 ascending spirals wrapped around a central column. The base part is made of oak and carved with the 3-axis CNC. It includes some height gradients (like a very flat cone) and 3 spiral shapes that are designed to align, or “morph” into the 3 coils of the pillar above. There are some tricky cuts in all 3 parts to make gluing stronger by maximizing the contact surface. This gift is meant for my wife as a symbol of our deep love.

3rd Prize: Custom-made Rummikub set by Mike Campagna

Finally finished my Christmas gift for the GF. It was a labor of love… and I used all 3 modules on my Snapmaker to do it!

Custom-made Rummikub set. The tiles are laser etched and the numbers are carved with CNC. The tiles racks are 3D printed and the box was laser cut and etched. 

3rd Prize: A present box by Kian Pelkington 

I chose to make my little sister this gift. She loves surprises so I designed a “present” box with my Snapmaker 3D printer. The box is completely 3D printed with the exception of some small pieces of string and paint. Then with the turn of a lever, the box pops open to reveal the gift inside. I also designed a little candy cane bowl for holding holiday treats to put inside.

3rd Prize: Christmas Bauble by Clara Lindner

Christmas Bauble ☃ I made several Christmas baubles as gifts.

3rd Prize:  Mini-Schwibbogen “Christmas Train” by Robert Boscarelli

3rd Prize: Zoltan Tölgyes

3rd Prize: Patrick Kübler

My gift is an upcycled drum cymbal to a wall clock.

The dial is cnc milled and the holders are printed with black PLA material.

The winners above will be contacted via email soon.

Here are other entries that are definitely worth seeing! Thank you all for your participation. What contest themes you would like to see in 2023? Drop your ideas below!:d

The University of Electro-Communications, Japan

Kazuyuki Mito, associate professor at the Department of Informatics, Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering, the University of Electro-Communications, used a Snapmaker 3D printer to create palpable guide maps – Braille blocks that can be understood by people with visual impairments through touching. He said: “It will lead to a solution by having more people know and understand visually impaired people through 3D printing, and by actually creating sculptures aimed at visually impaired people. I would be happy if 3D printers will continue to be used in such places to support people with disabilities in the future. ”Next, he plans to hold on-site classes for elementary school students to experience manufacturing using Snapmaker 3D printers and CAD software.

CCA WICHITA, US

Central Christian Academy is a ministry of Central Christian Church that partners with the Christian home and church to educate and equip children to reach their full academic, physical and spiritual potential in K12 education in Jesus Christ. They offer students an updated space, the Innovation Center, to create, collaborate, learn, build, and demolish. In their 3D printer lab, they used Snapmaker 3D printers for children to print the items they like. According to CCA WICHITA, they were very excited to introduce the Snapmaker 3D printer in their teaching and said “thanks for helping us create luggage tags, playground models, and more 3D printing fun.”
