2022 Snapmaker Holiday Gift Guide

Hi Makers,

Snapmaker holiday gift guide for this season is here! As always, we believe a gift that celebrates and inspires creativity will be the most coveted gift. A 3D printer is exactly this kind of gift simply because you can create many things out of it. Gift a reliable 3D printer that will go a long way to the beloved ones in your life, your maker friends, your children who love to imagine and create, tech-savvy guys around you, your parents and grandparents who are still a kid at heart, and most importantly, yourself. From beginner options to worthy upgrades and productive tools, you can find different types of 3D printers from Snapmaker that suit your needs.

No matter what type of maker one may be, a 3-in-1 3D printer can’t go wrong. 

If you’re a tinkerer who often spends time in the garage or backyard, 3d -prints life hacks for family and makes home decors through laser engraving and CNC carving, an A350T/A250T might be the all-around helper for you. Plus, with addons like Dual Extrusion Module and 10W Laser Module, you can produce durable, functional household stuff with engineering materials such as PA-CF and PA-GF or create laser-engraved home decors with impeccable details. Better yet, our signature 3-in-1 3D printer is also a powerful STEAM-learning tool, which is great for your young family members. For your family’s safety, we recommend you use AT models together with an Enclosure

Among our users, there are also fellows very into craft and design. They tap the potential of a 3-in-1 3D printer and fully utilize the three functions—3D printing, Laser engraving and cutting, and CNC carving to bring out the most artistic and imaginative works. If you are a like-minded person, an A350T/A250T is a creative tool that you don’t want to miss.

Provided that you are adept in digital fabrication methods and on the lookout for side hustle opportunities, Artisan can be your great helper and turn your desktop into a workshop. Snapmaker Artisan is the latest generation of our 3-in-1 3D printer series. It’s larger, stronger, safer, and more accessible than ever. Ideal for professionals like engineers, small business owners, architects, and product designers, Artisan can help its users produce large-format, high-quality models and works, as well as build a small but mighty digital fabrication center right from home.

If you are looking for a better budget option and want to start a small business right away, the A350T bundle might be the one.(Artisan is not yet in stock. We are making every effort to speed up the production!) While A350T bundle does not have as many features as Artisan, it has been widely acclaimed by users for its reliable quality, consistent performance, and large work volume. What’s more, you can always pair your A350T with addons like Rotary Module, 10W Laser Module, Dual Extrusion Module, and Air Purifier to make different kinds of products and run a shop. Our users BagwellMade and JV Wood & Leather are exactly one of those starting a small business with the help of a Snapmaker machine.

F350/F250 is mainly for those who have a basic understanding of 3D printing and love to make 3D-printed models and quick prototypes in their daily life or for those seeking to explore laser and CNC functions soon but not feeling like owning a 3-in-1 3D printer at the moment. Depending on your level of expertise or specific needs, you can upgrade your F350/F250 with options like 10W Laser Module, Dual Extrusion Module, or Enclosure.
