XL

Looks like a superior implementation compared to Vortek in the H2C imho. Lots of toolheads can use almost any material. The possible problem is still Prusa. I had 2 MK3s (upgraded from launch all the way to Mk3S+), and had an XL on order. Prusa always promised a lot of features 'soon' and 'later'. T

Difference here is that bambulab has inventory of printer while prusa are printed on demand. Much easier to manage inventory. The p1s was released in July 2023 and was a finished product. The x1c a few months before that and was a finished product. The people that get a p1s last month got the same p

Uh weird how all of the accessories fit on the H2C (laser bed, vision encoder plate, cutting bed, etc.). They seemed un-necessarily restrictive before, but now it all makes sense. Besides all that, just on its face what you’re saying is kinda ridiculous: Do you think Bambu just whipped up a robot ho

When it comes to multi colour 3D printing, there are two types: the AMS like systems where multiple filaments share a single nozzle ( like the ones you mentionned ) , and the toolchangers where each filament has its own nozzle. The AMS like systems are the most common and are pretty cheap, but they

The Bondtech Tools consist of only a PTFE Tube Inlet, a Heater Block + Heat Break, and a Nozzle. The rest of what makes a Print Head Work ( Extruder Stepper Motor, Extruder, Heater Cartridge, Thermistor, Filament Sensors, Tool Head Boards, etc... ) remain in the Main Body and do not require multiple

My opinion is buy the best you can buy now or at least don't wait for more than a couple of months. Most of the time, first releases are buggy and need a few iteration to iron the bugs out. And is not usually easy to apply the changes. Prusa also is notorious for elongating delays and giving minimal

I have a few comments on that: Not a fair comparisonSince Bambu does not offer a real tool-changer its pretty unfair to compare the U1 to their printers. nevertheless I have to admit, that the U1 isn´t as reliable as I´d like it to be.I never had real problems, but I had quite a few prints paused fo

I had one one pre order actually scheduled to ship this week. Just cancelled and ordered an H2D. I just couldn't justify the high price even with the earlier price that I paid for what I was getting. As more reviews came out I started to see the cracks. This is coming from someone who owns an XL so

Sceptical. Wait for the real world reliability experiences of the tool changers. 4k Prusa XL has its issues, so I would guess the 850 U1 will have - especially after the history of SnapMaker. So far we've only hand picked review experiences of U1 and no long term real world usage reports from full p

My research was old. I haven’t bothered to research Until you just corrected me. Im glad to see things are coming along but I just spent time digging into current reviews (Tom’s Hardware, 3D Printing Industry, Reddit), and here’s updated info on why I still wouldn’t buy it, even after years to impro
