Snap One Up
by Matthew Mensley Jun 16, 2026
Toolchanger fanciers, perk up.

Snapmaker's U1 toolchanger has dropped back to its post-Kickstarter, pre-retail price of $849 as a part of the company's tenth anniversary celebration. That's good news.

But the great news for U1 users is that Snapmaker is fixing to bankroll community development for the printer, and has launched a $150,000 Innovation Fund. $50K is already set aside for the developers that shaped the printer's launch and early months, but $100K is still up for grabs. Over two rounds, 40 projects can win cash backing following an 80/20 split of expert judging and community voting.
