when I was a child I had these electronic kits that were wooden frames with cardboard that had electronic components mounted on top. each component had springs sticking up that were wired on the backside of the to the components. it came with a book that had different projects you build by connecting the springs with wires. I played with that for hours at a time. I wish they still made those.
Fantastic!!! I love this project so much Chuck :D you did a great job making all the steps clear too. Thank you. 3d printing meets education at home :D
When creating holes in TinkerCAD, I prefer to make the hole slightly taller than the item I'm cutting into so I can make it easier to grab that object. Great work on using Center point vs Midpoint, but I think you went a little fast on showing how to switch between the 2. My sister looked at Snap Circuits and found them a bit flimsy so she went with LittleBits instead.
When you finished the align, the height of the hole and the object you were going to make a hole in were the same. What I tend to do is make the hole object a little over-sized so I can reach it without too much trouble, and usually that means making the Z-axis bigger.
The first thing I thought when I saw the title of this video was oh my... 'patent issues'. (for the scab who will steal your Thingiverse entry and instruction for replicated resale. :-) ) I believe Elenco Electronics has some pretty broad patents on the books for these modular electric prototype systems. I don't think they have gone after anyone at this point, so its probably for defensive purposes.

I used to love these things! These are amazing for people just learning circuits
I had the idea couldn't have the motivation to look up right snaps. Now I found you. Thanks.
This is fantastic Chuck, congrats man! This would be a terrific dad-and-daughter activity!
Great tutorial! My nieces/nephews have been getting into these, and I can’t wait to create extra parts for them.
I absolutely LOVE TinkerCAD. Really easy to use for non-diehard 3D designers.
Awesome project Chuck!
Another great project Chuck! I have a large snapcircuits kit. I built a lightning detector with it. I'll share that on twitter.
Very nice video. I had never seen that kind of snap circuits before. They look very interesting.
Great video. Last year I made a 3x5 snap circuit with an Arduino nano for my son's kit using my Divinci.
Nice project !
great stuff, my son and daughter will be bugging me to expand their snap kits now :-)

Awesome! Great for education projets for kids
Very useful!
If I could play home media on that

Do you sell these?
No.
8:35 Chuck you should really use a metal vise for riveting those parts.
I see that you damaged your wooden vise with that move..
You could also use 90 deg angle iron or angle aluminum pieces draped over the wooden vise jaws.
