Snappy Rendering

Snappy v2.0

A cheap, snap-together, nearly screw-less 3D printer (reprap) design that minimizes use of non-printed parts. Current parts cost: about $250! That's including the cost of plastic used to print the parts!

Improves upon the Snappy v1.1 de# the following ways:

  • Replaces metal lifter screw rods with printed worm gears and racks.
  • Replaces binder clips with adjustable bed-leveling mounts. Yes, you can now adjust bed leveling!
  • Towers and bridge assembly use less plastic.
  • Improves reliability of X and Y homing switches.
  • Increases build volume to approximately 195mm x 195mm x 165mm.
  • Extruder idler should now provide more pressure on the filament, for less skipping.
  • Cable chains should be stiffer and stay together better.
  • The extruder bridge is now arched, to reduce sag issues.

Project Status

Works, but Z axis is wobbly.
