The Print & Play Challenge

June 1st is Snapmaker's 8th Anniversary. The theme of our celebration this year is Play Well. Play Well reminds us of our youth, of fun and exploration, and why we started Snapmaker in the first place. The challenge is simple: Print something you can play with: Toys, games, sports equipment, musical instruments - anything you can play with. (Bonus points if you can also use the Laser or CNC functions of your Snapmaker!) Play with your creation, inviting your friends and family to join you so you can enjoy the wonderful things you've made - together. Film a video, 1-3 minutes long, documenting:
a. What you made. b. How you made it. c. Who you played with! Upload your video to YouTube using the hashtag #snapmakervideocontest, and then submit the link to the widget below.
Be sure to highlight the design and thought behind your creation, as well as the final result.

We invite you to join us in this challenge, starting on Mother's Day (12 May 2024), ending on Father's Day (16 June 2024, Midnight UTC+8), and offering a special bonus for submitting your entry before our 8th Anniversary Celebration on June 1st!

Special Bonus: The Snapmaker Team will choose 5 videos submitted before June 1st to highlight on our website and show during our 8th Anniversary Celebration!

12 May 2024 - 16 June 2024
