Bambu Lab 3D printers contain a kill switch. After upgrading the 3D printer to a higher model, you need remote activation of the new board
Snapmaker U1, flashforge creator 5, both way better for multi material printing, and these are 3d printers, bc what's the point of sticking to one company again? And for budget option - sovol zero. I own one, i know people love to say it's printer you need to tinker a bit, but plain is good enough a

INDX alternative
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

What's The Best 3D Printer For a Beginner Right Now?
If I was to buy a new printer now I would buy a toolchanger. Like the Snapmaker U1 or the Flashforge Creator 5 if you have a budget. There is no good reason to buy a printer from the last 1 or even 2 generations in my opinion. I think you would regret such a decision in max 1 year at least I know I'

Asking for advice for a new printer
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

X2D + U1 or H2C...what is the best choice for everything?
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 support provided in this ticket regarding my Bambu Lab P2S has been completely unacceptable.
Myself bought a Flashforge Creator 5 pro privately for having fun. Cost about the same. Bonus is I can make masking stuff for my coating company in nylon. If you as a company cant afford a better machine for prototype workshop, I feel sorry for you. You really need to add some to get a real machine.

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

Upgrade suggestions?
you have some solid suggestions here. The Flash Forge is solidly in your wheels house. that being said tool changers are just hitting. they are just starting to show their short falls as well. I would go for a P2S for now and let the tool changer tech improve for a year or so. Love them or hate them

The Squad is Finally Finished
Well, if you love the idea of turning plastic into different shaped plastic, then 3d printing may be right for you. This is a Flashforge Creator 5 and about 16 different colors of filament. I chose the Creator 5 because it's a multi tool head printer and so far, I love it.
