Looking for a good multicolor printer
I would look into the Snapmaker U1 or the Flashforge Creator 5 pro. The U1 has been out for a while and has a good community and good support. More Creator 5 reviews are trickling out now. Both of these machines are Tool Changers. This means that they can print multicolor with little to no waste, un

First-time buyer
I have the Creator 5 Pro (C5P) for over a week now and I am very happy with it. I have printed some 70 hours on it so far and it’s been rock solid. Also, I’m relatively new to this hobby so I’m only able to cite my basic experience overall. I believe the C5P is beginner friendly as long as you do so

Trying to decide between Snapmaker U1 and Bambu X2D
I'm a beginner who read a lot recently, so I would say if you're interested in Multi-color/-material a real tool changer is the way to go. If you're only printing one material I would go for the X2D, just because of the option to have a second material for supports. For real multicolor/-material it

Would you recommend the Anycubic Kobra S1 as a first printer for functional and engineering parts?
I’d say the s1 has been more reliable as its printing right now with the same hours as the ad5x. While the ad5x is sitting in the floor waiting for flashforge to fix it under warranty. It depends on the type of functional parts. Are you wanting to use abs, Asa, nylon? For those you need a heated cha

best 3d printer for beginners what did you end up buying for your first one?
Tech has really come a long way, but to be future proof i think you should get a toolchanger printer like the Snapmaker U1 or Flashforge Creator 5 Pro. These will really save you lots of time and money that would otherwise be spent on waste poop and nozzle purges

Beginner machine
Ad5x or kobra x is the best two entry level options for affordability. If you want to spend more money I would get a snapmaker u1 or wait for the flashforge creator 5 pro. Both are tool changers and are far more efficient and waste almost nothing.

I need your help
I would look at the flashforge creator 5 pro first. Color changes are 7s vs my bambu p1s 90s color change not to mention all the waste. P2S probably isn’t any faster and will waste just as much.

need some help
If I had a $1000 budget my next printer would be a flashforge creator 5 pro. I have a p1s with ams and it’s great but for multicolor it wastes so much and the color swaps take so long.

Flashforge Creator 5 Pro - Filament Dryer
I honestly had no idea Flashforge was planning a dedicated drying solution. When I was trying to research it, I couldn’t find much of anything on that front, so that’s actually really good to hear. If they do end up releasing it around the end of July and it works with the Creator 5 Pro, that would

Flashforge Creator 5 Pro - Filament Dryer
Yeah, that’s kind of where I’m at too. On paper the Creator 5 Pro seems like it checks almost every box for me — heated chamber, high enough nozzle temps for engineering filaments, and the multi-print-head setup seems like a huge advantage over single-nozzle multi-material systems in terms of time a
