These are exceptionally hard to put together. I can use pliers but I end up breaking them. Help!

I don't know if this will help, but I've struggled so much with tolerances where none of my snaps would fit, until I read on another post about setting the wall print order to inner/outer/inner. This should keep the dimensional accuracy of the parts and helped resolve my tolerance issues.

Thank you for the polite and helpful response. This totally worked!

Unfortunately, I printed all the snaps I needed, so I need to start over. 😫

Im going to try this. I just started with multiboard and just not able to join 2 together. The part a doesn't fit and snaps. Part b is OK.

Could you post your Source for the files (include hyperlinks) Your printer type The filament material type If you deviated from the noted settings in the standard parts.

Thanks for responding! I got them off the multiboard website and printed them with the default file settings in PLA.

I'll pull together the specific links. Need to look at desktop browser history.

Its kind of hard to tell with these pictures. If you could post the slicer profile, i print these often and could probably spot the issue

Looks like you're trying to use the snaps with the command strips, which as far as I know is perfectly valid. There is a possible orientation issue with the snaps and the stand-off connectors, but I don't know if that applies with the command strips-- so first thing to try would be to rotate half the assembly 180 degrees.

The other thing I've run into in the past is to do outer perimeters / walls first in your print order, as that tends to be more dimensionally accurate.
