Print in full color with only 4 colors

This is the same technique the Snapmaker mod uses. This takes it a step further, but it's the same concept Snapmaker didn't invent or develop the technique. Someone in the community developed the mod, originally for the Snapmaker U1. There's nothing really special about the Snapmaker U1 that allows

Best time to purchase H2C?

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

Such a bad PR disaster for Elegoo

I get the hate for Elegoo, well deserved. The CC is still a good printer. That being said, why is everyone automatically going to Bambu like they are perfect. If I cared about multi-color and was going to buy a printer, I'd be looking at some kind of tool changer. Whether it's a Prusa or the more af

Thinking about leaving Bambu Lab for Snapmaker U1

The only problems I had with p1s were AMS related and toolhead related. Not sad to not be using AMS all time now I have A U1. But auto loading is great, U1 can't do that. The tool head related issues I would say I have had about 4 times the amount of on U1, but it has 4 toolheads, so... For me at le

I just got my U1 and here are my first impressions as a Bambu Lab user

I really appreciate your review. I run a 20 Printer farm all bambu lab machines. I run several e-commerce brands. You could think of me as a slumlord in that regard. 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

First printer, QIDI Q2 or splurge for a Snapmaker U1?

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

2026 is the year of the toolchanger. Will Bambu compete with this performance?

I own 4 BLs (P1S, A1 mini, A1, H2D) and a Snapmaker U1. Edit: and I've owned and built others since 2012 or so. The BL software is better but it's not substantially better (computer-side). The mobile app is a lot better, but the Snapmaker mobile app is fine. Just not as many features. BL is the winn
