The Snapmaker team explains the community building that went into their record-breaking Kickstarter campaign for a three-in-one 3D printer, CNC, and laser cutter.
한이새 is a Korean user who likes world travelling. Like most of the makers, he enjoys 3D printing and sending prints to his friends as presents. After receiving his Snapmaker 3-in-1 3D printer, he found a new way to combine 3D printing with his hobby — printing customized picture frames.
It’s no secret that Snapmaker users are some of the most creative people on earth. That’s why it’s been such a joy for us to turn the spotlight on some of our users who have utilized their machines for a variety of good causes. Today, meet Aaron.

“I want to get the idea across to people that you don’t need a huge printer to be able to do huge prints. With the use of free software and some glue, anyone is able to do big prints!”
