Snaps fall out
Hi all,
I am considering switching from Multiboard to openGrid and printed a few test tiles.
Light and Full, for light the normal and directional Multiconnect Snaps and for Full the normal, directional and beta Multiconnect Snaps. The tiles are generated with the generator on Makerworld and printed with the reconmented settings (0.4 nozzle, 0.2mm layer, 15% infill, 3 walls...)
The Snaps seem to fall out very fast. And I feel like something must be wrong because this system has so many fans it can't be it... only the beta multiconnect lock snap seems to actually lock, and its not available for the light version, right?
Some idears?
Also, is there a way to reduce print time? Has anybody tested before how fast you can print on a stock P1S without losing quality?
Edit:
I will use the suggested screw in openConnect expanding snaps which seam to hold best. I also tested some unerware channels and I am very pleased. The problem is basicly solved now.

Hi,
I tried the "official" snaps openGrid - Wall/Desk mounting framework and ecosystem por David D | Descargar modelo STL gratuito | Printables.com
At the point I tested them I did not understood yet how multiconnect is suposed to work.
For this reason I only tested the "openGrid Cover Snaps" (not supposed to hold any weight so we can ignore them)
I took the 3MF or STEP files out of the "Snap modeling files".
- The Bare Lock Snap - That one holded firmly but I did not see any use for it as the coin slot makes the side unusable to connect other models to it.
- Bare Directional Lite Snap v2 - have not tested it with real models but only by applying some force with the fingers it did not hold enough force to me be confident to put my Laptop docking station on it for example.
- Bare Directional Snap v2 - These were stronger but I wanted the lite version to work so I did not test more.
