What do y'all think of these new cool tool changers coming out as a Bambulab user?

I'm looking at them but when I ordered the X2D it was still cheaper in a combo than the U1 by 30% or so and is fully enclosed at that price. I was able to add an AMS-HT and filament track switch and still be lower on price. I'd probably trust snapmaker more than flashforge but the AD5M Pros are doin

Well my creator 5 lasted almost a week.

I still have my creator 5 pro I got through the preorder with only 15 minutes of print time. I’m paranoid about it now because I can’t just return it like this creator 5 from Amazon. I’ve gotten 2 email responses on this one and neither one has addressed that little broken pin. Just that they would

Good Bambu Lab X2D alternatives?

All companies have their skeletons. The two closest equivalents in terms of price/features are the Snapmaker U1 and Flashforge Creator 5 pro. Both companies have their own issues, they’re just different ones than Bambu. If the X2D is the right combination of features go with that. If the 4 extruder

What is the best 3D printer under/around $1000?

It depends on your needs. "Normal" printing that 90% of hobbyists do (PLA, PETG, some flexibles, maybe the occasional PCTG or ABS) --> Snapmaker U1 because it's a toolchanger, works well, is upgradeable, and very open source (for example there's already been custom firmwares made that allow the use

My experience with the Creator 5 Pro has been terrible.

Before buying this printer, I considered several different options: the Snapmaker U1, the Creator 5 Pro, and even the Bambu Lab H2C. My impression was that Snapmaker had strong software but weaker hardware. Flashforge seemed to offer reasonably good hardware, but weaker software. The H2C appeared ex

I gave up and will return my printer

Personally I have an S1max no issues with it so far. I agree for the money my Elegoo centari carbon 2 is a great machine I have had no issues with it since purchased. Probably 500 or a little more hours on it Ihave Bambu lab X2D P2S they are fine but have issues frequently. Snapmaker U1 no no issues

Bad news for Creator 5 Pro orders. Canceled mine today...

Awesome! Great print! Like I said, looks like a solid machine! Is that a Creator 5 or a 5 Pro? My issue isn't so much with delays, its that they are not communicating. A simple email to set expectations, or at least adjust them goes a long way! Maybe when they're more available I'll look into them a

Creator 5 vs Creator 5 Pro — worth stretching the budget? (+ carton size question for EU→Morocco shipping)

If you don't need it for professional use, the Flashforge Creator 5 will do just fine. The Pro costs a lot more, while not offering any major advantages for hobby usage and printing PLA.

So preorders still waiting but you can get a creator 5 Monday on Amazon

I considered the flashforge Creator 5 Pro. However, I figured I would just go with a Bambu H2D and avoid the issues of dealing with a light weight imitation printer with the same, I'll be it less developed closed eco system.
