Genuinely infuriating to see how good the hardware and how bad the official software of the #snapmaker #u1 is 🫠

#SnapmakerU1 #3DPrinting

I got my Snapmaker U1 last week and coming from my Creality K1 (which I really like!) it's great. I'm not a professional 3d printer, so I might be excited about dumb stuff, just so you know.

Obvious upgrade are the 4 print heads, so you can print multi color prints without all the wasted filament.

But since I didn't have a dryer at first, I also witnessed the U1 managing broken and, with the one annoying spool, tangled filament. It recognized there was a problem and stopped so I could fix it. Both problems with the K1 ended with aborted prints because the problem wouldn't be recognized so the printer would "print" air, because it didn't have any filament. (And I would have to clean the extruder with tangled filament, because it tried with more and more force to get more filament)

Also a the build plate size went to from 240x240mm to 270x270mm.

I mainly printed printer upgrades so far (Ikea Samla enclosure, adapters for older wider spools) and a axolotl which due to the undried filament didn't come out that well. But today I found a #hueforge model that was looking fun and quickly (3.5h) to print and I'm happy with the result.

Integrating Functions in a Single Device: The Snapmaker Philosophy

When Snapmaker first entered the desktop fabrication market, the company focused on delivering machines that combined multiple technologies into a single device. Its previous models, such as the Snapmaker Original and Snapmaker 2.0, integrated CNC carving, laser engraving, and 3D printing. #Desktop3DPrinter #Multimaterial3DPrinting #SnapmakerU1

Ich habe es getan... und mir den #SnapmakerU1 über Kickstarter bestellt 🤠

Hoffe, dass Snapmaker am Ende auch hält was sie versprechen und es nicht der größte Scam der Kickstarter Geschichte wird 😉

Auf der #MakerFaire hatten die YouTuber MPox und Make-o-Rama ihre Prototypen dabei. Beeindruckend für den Preis. Vor allem, dass sie direkt auf Klipper setzen!

Der soll dann meinen MK3S mit MMU2S ersetzen. Ist auch deutlich schneller unterwegs.

Psyched about the Snapmaker U1, a multi toolhead printer for about 700€. I wanted to upgrade my K1 with multi color, but you can see that the K1 wasn't designed for this. When this Kickstarter came along I quickly decided this is the future instead of filling my printer with color change poop.
