Creator 5 Pro

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

Worth noting that for basically the price of an X2D combo you could get the flashforge creator 5 pro, which is an enclosed four-head toolchanger with the same build volume, 320C nozzle and a heated chamber. If you think there's a chance that you want to do multicolour in any serious way in the futur

X2D has the dual nozzle which I think is well worth it. It also has finer pitched belts that reduce VFA’s. I can’t see any reason to go with the P2s other than it’s $100 cheaper. Also I would seriously consider the Flashforge Creator 5 Pro or the snapmaker u1. I also have a p1s but for multicolor pr

In the below 1500 range, I would suggest the Snapmaker u1.Base printer is 900.The top is 150, and won't ship for 4-5 months. He can use a plastic tote in the meantime (we're all doing that).Hardened nozzles are super helpful. The base nozzles can't handle glow in the dark, wood infused, and so on as

I was going to go with the x2d because it has dual nozzles. Then I found out they use different extruder between the 2 nozzles and the print quality is different between them. I ended up getting the flashforge creator 5 pro and have been super happy with it. The x2d is a good printer though, I would

I’ve been looking into this a lot recently. I have a Core One with INDX on order, a Bambu H2D (pre known shenanigans), and a U1 as my main printers these days. I’m actually now most worried about my C1 going from my rocksteady reliable for abrasives and TPU to being less useful than my U1 with an IN

If your main focus is multi color you should go with a toolchanger like Snapmaker U1 or Flashforge Creator 5/pro. They are significantly faster with multi color/multi filament prints. They have less build volume though. Creator 5 pro also has better engineering filament capabilities. Bambu cloud isn

Yep, and the P1S is still excellent and can be easily upgraded with a chamber heater (plus aftermarket hotends to add quick-swap nozzles etc) for a not hugely significant amount of money. They're still selling the P1S on the UK store and it's just slightly more expensive than the A1. Excellent machi

Howdy fellow Engineer! I'm only 3 weeks into 3d printing. And my first printer out of the gates was the X2D. Hot Diggity, it's been a blast so far. My goal with the X2D is to make variety of functional prints using engineering materials and it's been working perfectly. Of course now there is the Sna

The Flashforge Creator 5 Pro seems interesting. And may be better than my U1. But man the reliability of my Bambu's I have a hard time switching brands. Don't get me wrong I still try them. I don't really care for my Sovol and I will buy the IDEX if it's ever available. But Bambu set a high bar in a
