I bought a A5DX... but should I send it back for the ANYCUBIC Kobra S1 Combo?

Snapmaker u1 or flashforge creator 5 but people with the flash forge seems to be hit or miss right now

3D Printer Gift - what to buy?

I'm going to vote for the snapmaker u1. I don't think I read what your budget is but I own one and I've been very impressed with it. Stay away from the flashforge Creator 5, they need some more time to work out all the manufacturing bugs and shipping. I did a pre-order and ended up having to cancel

I regret buying the Snapmaker U1

I have had the exact same problem with our snapmaker.I have a snapmaker U1, flashforge creator 5 pro and a P1S. And snapmaker is the worst thing we bought. Constantly getting stuck filament as it won’t unload. I’ll take apart the head and remove the stuck filament (yesterday’s stuck was in the run o

P1s combo or flashforge

Flashforge creator 5 ends up being in the same category as p1s since I'm buying it from them directly and not through a local seller like bambu's printers, but it is a weird situation yeah Like you said what really matters is if the printer will stand the test of time. When I asked if their machines

Centauri Carbon 2 Vs Bamboo labs P2S

I do not own a bambu printer. As a matter of fact the only brand of printers I've used yet are Elegoo. I have the CC1 and the CC2. The CC1 with a canvas kit, assuming it works properly, is almost as good as a CC2. The CC2 does have some minor improvements, but the canvas kit for the CC1 adds the two

Thinking of ordering

I am sure there will be something like a black friday sale. Other than that, the flashforge creator 5 (pro) could be worth a shot. Though they are less proven and more closed of a System than the snapmaker U1

Elegoo Support Total Fail

I know there is a lot of Flashforge naysayers BUT all else being equal when I want to make sure my print is complete and correct with ZERO problems I go to my Flashforges. I have two AD5M, 2 AD5X, I just received my Creator 5pro. Definitely a Flashforge fan. I have 2 sovol sv06 plus ace - I bought t

Just ordered the creator 5 pro

The snapmaker u1 had a fully enclosed option as well. Theres literally nothing that flashforge creator 5 has that the snapmaker doesn't. Cheaper isn't always better especially in the case of flashforge. I speak from a wealth of professional and hobby experience on that. I've spent more time and mone

P1s combo or flashforge

Odd that the Flashforge Creator 5 is in the same price range as the P1S. The P1S isn’t flashy, but it gets the job done, and you’d have to pry mine from my cold dead hands. I love the machine. That said, Flashforge has actually been around longer than Bambu. In my opinion, though, they don’t quite m
