【3-in-1】Combining Design and Functionality! 4 Excellent Projects Made with Snapmaker CNC

　　Spartan Soldier Knife Stand

　　This is a knife stand with a distinctive design. Its pose and expression recall the scene from the movie "300" where Spartan soldiers raise their shields to confront the enemy. It is not only unique in appearance but also highly practical. Cute, fun, and elegant, this knife stand adds a touch of playfulness to any kitchen or workspace.
　　All the machining required for this piece can be done on a Snapmaker, though final touches such as manual sanding and deburring are necessary. Additionally, if you scale down the model, you can store smaller knives as well.

Designer: Christian Knuell
Main Materials: Beech plywood, magnets Ø25 x 5 mm (NdFeB), 6 mm pins, knives to be stored

Compatible Models: A350T, Artisan

Smartphone/Watch Stand
 

　　Simple, stylish, and practical—things that look easy at first glance are often surprisingly difficult to design while meeting all three criteria. However, this smartphone and watch stand not only hits the mark on all three but is also easy to produce!
　　After machining the parts, assembly is as simple as sliding the three components into place. This yields a sophisticated and functional piece. Its simple form is not only beautiful but also perfectly balanced, allowing it to blend naturally into any interior style.

Main Materials: 6.35 mm wood board, at least 200 mm wide

Pentagon Lantern
 

　　A beautiful lantern project. The cut-out patterns on the vertical panels create lovely geometric shadows. The pentagonal design requires cutting 10 parts, but it can be made on all Snapmaker models if scaled to a smaller size. No glue is required for assembly; the structure of the lantern itself holds the parts firmly together.
　　You can place various light sources that fit the size inside this lovely lantern. Whether it’s a candle or popular camping lights like 38explore or Goal Zero, it works perfectly. Its lightweight and easy-to-disassemble design makes it ideal for outdoor use and setting the mood!

Player Tray for Catan
 

　　"Catan" is a world-famous board game where players use various strategies and techniques to dominate the island. Every player has their own strategy for achieving victory in the shortest time. However, with this practical dedicated player tray, you can stay one step ahead of your opponents in terms of style, too!
　　Not only does it look stylish, but it also solves a common problem: game pieces and tokens easily slide off the table and get "eaten by the floor gnomes." With this tray, you can keep them securely in place and reduce the worry of losing game components.
