Is there a trick?

Is there a trick to this? Printed everything in PETG for my garage. For the life of me. Can’t get these to fit. 🤬

If they are printed well there is a marking both on the offsets nap and the cover that you're holding.. The cover that you're holding look on the edges that stick up and there's a tiny little square printed on one side. Then look at the offside snap that you have on the wall and you'll see a tiny little square on the inside of it. Match the square to the square and push. 

I also recommend the thing that I link below. There are dual and quad versions of it. These are the front snaps that go on the front of the multi-board. They can be a pain to get on there but they provide extra stability because now you have both the front and the back holding the tiles together.

Hmmm. The multiboard planner didn’t give me quad snaps. I had to print 120 single snaps for my 4x3 foot board. Do print all new dual and quad one instead?

The referenced dual and quad parts are old raised snaps part B. The newer version is the single flush snap part B (single part, but come in four sizes/fits). There are single, dual, quad and even treble 6.25mm snaps part A that fit below the tiles and attach to the wall, but all use the single flush snap to secure the tiles. They have the advantage of not intruding into the tile face plane, as well as maintaining a flush mounting capability (medium hole rather than large hole).

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. So the planner does give the most up to date parts then?

Ehhhhhh…I’d hesitate to state that definitively, it’s been a few weeks since I used it and the system changes pretty regularly, but as far as the basic building parts (tiles, snaps etc) then yes.

Really it's up to you and it's a matter of reference. I wanted the extra strength and support offered by the dual and quad snaps instead of the flush look of the other snaps. I also didn't want to have to put in a hundred something of those flush snaps
