U1

I would suggest you also consider a toolchanger. They are generally a lot faster at the cost of fewer concurrent colors. I have 4 H2C's and an H2D, and I do appreciate them. But, I get more fun prints out of my cheap Snapmaker u1, particularly in TPU. The limitation on the U1 is mostly the number of

Everyone saying the sky is falling here is wrong. Prusa isn’t failing, and Bambu definitely isn’t. You have companies like Qidi shipping units that are literally broken, having customers as beta testers. Creality has an insane amount of printers that are all basically the same thing before support i

I'm very happy with my H2C, but it can't print multi-color TPU. The SnapMaker U1 can, so I went with them for my latest printer. It's the first non-Bambu printer I've bought since Bambu came out.

And generates TONS of waste filament REALLY fast. The technique really only makes sense on multi-nozzle printers like the Snapmaker U1, Bambu Lab H2C, PrusaXL, etc. OP used the H2C and they showed how much waste it produced in the picture; a handful of purges (probably had Dynamic Flow Calibration t

I purchased three Snapmaker U1s on pre-order and received them last week. I must say I think bambu lab is in trouble. At least they wi

Toolchanger and multiprinthead solutions solve problems of cross-contamination between different filament types. You can pretty much reduce the filament change time to 10 seconds, eliminate the poop chute that bambulab still uses for most of their printers. Imagine a Toolchanger printer with 4-5 too

tool changers are the only way to go with multicolor in 2026, snapmaker U1.

I don't know what's happening. But it seems like more than 4 colors in Snapmaker U1 are happening right now. I am absolutely hyped. Where can I fund this?

The Snapmaker is a great printer that's better if you envision yourself doing multimaterial or multicolor prints. Toolchangers are most likely the future of printing. However, if you want to print anything more involved than low temp filaments like PLA/PETG/TPU, it's a bad choice. The U1 is really t

I've considered it, but if I was buying today I would do a Snapmaker U1 which gets me multi-color and keeps a more open framework
