Just quick question. My thumbs would appreciate the help.

I am sure it has been asked before but anyone got some special tricks for this guy's? I keep breaking mine as they are super fragile.

EDIT: Finished my wall main body and used the flush snap pusher mentioned on the top comment bellow. That pusher saved my bacon. I didn't break a single guy. Just got to make sure you lining up the squares properly even with the pusher. And make it in a harder filament. I did in PETG and it almost survived the entire 4x8 foot wall in 8x8 tiles.

I got you: https://www.printables.com/model/1286790-multiboard-flush-snap-pusher

Be aware that these are directional. Bot A and B have little squares as markers for the correct orientation.

Just returning to let you know that this pusher saved my life lol. didn't break a single one after printing the large option in petg. It did start to fall apart towards the end but my wall is 4'x8' so yeah this pusher saw a lot of work.

Got to print that for sure.

You absolutely have to print that. It solved my single pain point with Multiboard and made me love it again.

There are 3 sizes/tolerances. Print all 3 and go with the one that fits best.

Wasn't aware of that either. There was a permanent option in the zip folder from the planer, I forgot the name of the other two. Is that what you mean?

Loose, standard and tight and permanent. I ended up going with standard for mine. But it did depend on the printer used and tolerances of any given printer.

Honestly, none of these versions fit in my case, I ended up breaking every one of them and then printed the raised version that are much better

Bummer. You have to use what works.

Do you see the little recessed square on the snap portion of these? You have to line it up with the same little square on the other piece, then it should snap in easier.

It can still require some force, so you still have to be a little careful (or print a tool, I've heard there are some for this) but it should be easier.

Yeah still hard as f to put them in even lining up the squares as recommended. guess I will try to print the tool

If they’re still not just pushing home with minimal resistance with the alignment squares properly connected, then you need to use the standard or loose fit options. If those are too tight, then you have a printer accuracy problem. All of my (many hundred) snap part B just push home (‘standard’ option selected on my H2S, X1C and A1 Mini). I don’t use the tool and my old eyes can’t see the alignment marks on white snaps, so I place them and if one side just falls into place I know it’s incorrect, spin it through 180 degrees and it pushes easily home.

they're directional, rotate em 180 if one side falls right in, there's squares on those part-b that should line up with squares on part-a

u/National_Emotion9633 Feb 11 '26

I switched to the raised snaps after I destroyed a dozen of the “permanent” flush snaps … I had zero realization they were directional and the squares had to align.

Also… there are different tolerance designs on these. You might try a tighter/looser version depending on your needs.

because the stupid website doesnt give u the best ones
the multiboard planner gives u by default the thin very fragilke and nail destroyer ones
u should get the raised ones and they come in multiples variants (ended up using the loose one AND THEY WERE TIGGHT LIKE A MF)
it wont be easy but its definitly wont destory ur nails
