How it works

Getting quality 3D prints is a lot easier than you think

A workflow that works out of the box. No tuning, no prior experience required.

Step 1

Slicing

Pre-configured slicing settings for every material. No tuning or prior experience required.

    3D Printing

    A plug-and-play printer that calibrates itself. Load the file and go.

      Finished Part

      Parts come off the machine accurate and repeatable, without a tuning pass first.

        How Much You Get per Build

        The maximum build volume determines the biggest part you can make. Snowflake gives you a full 200×200×200 mm, which is 8,000 cc of usable space.

        That’s the lowest cost per cubic centimetre of any printer in its category: the most value for your money, print after print.

        Engineered in every detail

        The Details That Make the Difference

        Every part is chosen to make reliable printing the default rather than something you tune for.

        Extrusion

        Direct Drive Extruder

        Enough pushing force to extrude and retract accurately, which is what a flexible material like TPU needs.

          Reliability

          Precision Filament Sensor

          Automatically stops the machine on filament run-out, so a long print never fails halfway through.

            Responsive Display

            A 3-inch LCD and a dial knob that responds. Everything the machine does is reachable from it.

              Magnetic Print Sheet

              A removable magnetic sheet holds prints firm and pops them off clean; swap surfaces to suit each material.

                Heated Build Platform

                Reaches up to 130°C for reliable printing in engineering-grade materials like ABS, PC and Nylon.
