Snapmaker's Home Alone Video Contest

The Christmas Movie Marathon is a time-honored tradition, celebrating the magic of the holidays and precious time spent with our families.
Here at Snapmaker, one of our favorite Christmas Movies is Home Alone. Inspired by the clever traps, gizmos, and toys Kevin McAllister uses to protect himself, we got to thinking: imagine what he could have done with a Snapmaker!?
With that in mind, let's unveil our latest video challenge: Snapmaker's Home Alone Video Contest
Use your Snapmaker to:
  • 1.Build a holiday inspired trap, gizmo, toy, or silly Rube Goldberg Device.
  • 2.Any project inspired by your favorite holiday movie!
Your creation can be a unique design you made yourself, or something simple that you downloaded off the internet. 3D Printing, Laser Cutting/Engraving, and CNC Carving are all fantastic!
Feel free to stretch the theme a bit - any Holiday is fine. And sure, whatever, Die Hard is a Christmas Movie, go nuts.
