I guess I was also lucky. Printed these in eSun PLA+ on my A1. I did employ a rubber mallet to give the thing a whack in order to seat the top piece, but no biggie. Otherwise, printed as-is. I did forget to set the walls to 5, but with 3 on my prints, I'll give it a go. If I need to re-print, so be it, mea culpa.
I printed my second tool since the first broke after some use. The hooks at the end aren't gripping the snap now, the design could be fixed by adding a piece to force the hooks apart once the tool is fully inserted, or by making the tines wider (barely fitting in the snap) and splayed out so theres more spring from the plastic to make sure the hooks grip
Doesn't work with the adhesive mounts.... too little clearance. I had to cut off about 1-2 mm with a sharp knife at the end to make it work. I also fail do understand why it is not designed like that from the start - you do not need that much material on the tip as the breaking point would be the 90 degree angle anyway.
Guess I'm lucky. Printed as is on Bambu A1 with no modifications. Gave it a light tap with the pad on a table and it fits snug. (I used an old fashion hammer but I'm sure a heavy book will work just as fine). Worked on the first try removing a snap. The L shape lifting part of the tool only works if you line it up with the holes inside the snap. If you orient it the other 2 directions on the hex, there is nothing to lift. Once you get the snap out, squeeze the tips of the L to pop out the snap.
Cap should be thicker so the female portion has more surface area. Even with glue there is little surface to hold it in place
The 4 legs insides should be chamfered. When they are inserted in the Snap Part B there is very little room for play but I used the deburirng tool to chamfer the legs and its use went from struggle to consistently working as any misalignment is corrected.
as others noted, needs a good whack to come together. Also does not work with the command strip snaps, they are solid/in the way where the tool would apply its grip.
I printed the model as provided and recommended settings on P1S. A small whack with a rubber mallet or similar worked great to seat the prongs of the plunger to the thumb pad. Thank you.
the top ( rectangular shape pad) doesnt fit with the " fork " ( plunger ) even with a good wack with a mallet. I printed it with prusa MK3S 0.6mm nozzle, 0.2 height, 5 wall, 15% density, no support, brim 3mm, on PLA
The pad is a hard fit indeed. My other MB pieces fit at standard tolerances, but for this one I needed to use a hard hammer and be less then gentle with it for the parts to go together. PLA would probably have shattered...
On the plus side: This thing will never ever seperate again. No glue needed 😅
Yes. You have to pay attention to the orientation of the slots on the opposite side of the snap. I had the same issue until I noticed that. Try rotating the tool before inserting if you can't see the other side of the snap. In one of the 4 possible rotational configurations you should feel/hear it click into place.

Printed nice and worked well. The snaps pulled apart as intended!

would definitely recommend using a rubber mallet for assembling this. Helps get the pad in place. :)

The pad doesn't stay in place. Glue is recommended. Other than that. No problems yet.
I printed the pad (only the pad) at 101% and then it snapped into place for me and now works perfectly.
I will use a spring instead, you will figure out where the spring/suspension go without assistance neither remixing part. Just add suspension to it.
I could not get this to work unfortunately
Printed with default settings on my Bambu A1 and it works great. Anyone know of a good way to mount or hang this on a Multiboard?

Had no problem with the print without any changes.
Would recommend NOT using any type of hammer.
I used a squeeze clamp and the pad popped right into place.

no issues on creality k2 plus with Jayo red PLA .2 mm 2 wall 15% fill.

Wonderful print. Need more! I used PLA.
Increasing the top pad to 101% and then changing the Z to 10mm from 8mm really made a difference in the pad staying in place.
The pad is almost impossible to get on, even at 105%

I've just printed this and found the easiest way to assemble it was to use a woodworking clamp, went together smooth as butter.
The pad does not fit, and a better design is needed here.
I have the same problem with the pad. I have printed it to 105% but still cant insert the legs properly.
danke für die Kommentar hat mir geholfen :-)
This works great, but I would love for it to have an option to insert some kind of spring for easier operation.
Is this for the Honeycomb wall panel system?
This is for removing Snaps from Multi-Board.
and it just immediately clicks back out because the "grippers" on the tip are rounded and just pinch themselves... am i missing something here?
