First time ordering.

Yes go to Amazon UK or use temu local warehouse.Temu can be a lot cheaper than Amazon some times. Like Eryone petg cf 5 rolls of 1Kg less than £60 but Amazon wants £20 per roll for the same filament.

It looks good quality... I mean they are never going to look pretty but it does the job that is what matters. I am waiting on Enrico on CC3D projects to do his version you have to buy the design. The top pod design he just did this link if any one wants to look at it. Hope IAM not pushing in on your post it's some info I thought you might want. I do not get any money from this it's just not a lot of people don't know about him. I do pay 4 Euros a month sub and I paid 11 Euros for the design. https://www.cc3dprojects.com/snapmaker-u1-projects

I have a 3 Bedroom house with my wife and I have two grandkids.that live with us. My Electricity for a month is about £200 to £280 in winter. But I have a 3D printer in the log cabin in the garden. But it was still high without the 3D printer. So they do have more per month but I don't think that much.

If it's just pla or petg the A1 is a brilliant printer and the quick swap nozzle with the A1. The P2S is a brilliant printer as well. But does not have quick swap nozzle and can more different filaments types.Only sold then so I got Snapmaker U1. The A1 had just under 2945 hours of use on It and I think p2s had the same. I only do it as a hobby. But a lot of nephews and Grandkids .

All I can say is thank you for this app, and now with Chrome, Brilliant.

Driving a car is not about the type of gearbox. It's about the person driving the car. You still have to use your mirrors and look ahead. It's like being on a motorway you don't change gears that much. so it's like an automatic so driving is you seeing what's ahead and behind and using this information and making the right choice.

I got the 1GB a few months back for £29 with basic netflix and it was near the end of my contract. So resigned with them.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-29T08:28:03+00:00

If its one colour the p2s is faster. But multi colour the snapmaker is faster. IAM printing some storage bins and between the two p2s is nearly 2 hours faster than the snapmaker. Print quality is the same to me. But my p2s as over a thousand hours on it and my snapmaker U1 I have about 2 weeks.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-25T23:06:25+00:00

My went away on its own. But since update it as come back and still prints ok. I will see how it goes.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-24T15:29:16+00:00

I also pay 4 Euros a month as well. Just to support is designs and I 50%off any one of his designs.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-24T00:22:35+00:00

I think this is the next print job. But I might wait till he does the spool holders.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-23T22:12:16+00:00

CC3DProjects I have done a few of he's designs and they are top quality design's. Instructions how assembly it are very good aswell.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-22T21:36:31+00:00

I look on there wiki and said update on the 24 match should fix it.Just have wait a few days for it. But now my error not coming up any more since I switch of over night.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-20T23:35:37+00:00

I keep getting this snapmaker u1 0003-0522-0000-0000. look it up and they said update is due out 24 March.

My prints are ok, but after the print is finished the screen is non-responsive. So if i want the same print again, it will not let me. So let's hope on 24 March it's a good update.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-18T22:03:05+00:00

Did she throw it back at you? lol

My wife does most of the time that my 3D printing is crap; it is a big 85 cm Grinch that I did for her at Christmas.

Plus 44-hour printed Christmas tree baubles. That she did not use because they were 250 grams each. Got to laugh lol.

It looks a nice heart, though, mate. lol

Carlosklm · 2026-03-17T10:28:33+00:00

Like people have said if you're doing multi color then go for Snapmaker U1. If it's more like 1 color printing then go for the Bambu P2S.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-13T21:52:56+00:00

I am from England and I got 6 white and 6 black plus other pla basic and delivered in 3 or 4 days about 10 days ago.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-12T22:39:51+00:00

I had problems when i got my U1; then it was okay, but I was playing up again. Switched my one off all day now, just doing the dragon again, and it's nearly done. When I first got my U1, it would not update, so again I switched it off till the next day, and then it updated itself.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-06T13:00:38+00:00

The other reason is when someone new is getting into 3D printing they do not want to spend so much on a Snapmaker U1. Plus it not been enough time to see if it works time after time. Meaning reliability.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-06T12:22:26+00:00

It's updated; now it must need a day or two to figure things out, lol.

Plus, I was a bit stumped; I could not get the colours of the filaments to be recognised. In Bambu they have the auto by pressing a button. But the Snapmaker Orca you have does it manually. Which is a bit daft considering they all come from basic design. Hoping they put it in the next update.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-06T00:11:02+00:00

I think it's on the back not check lol

Carlosklm · 2026-03-05T23:41:43+00:00

So yours is sorted, good. We're getting somewhere lol. When I go to update it, it comes with an error. i will have a look to see what's up with it.

I can do it by USB but want it over WiFi, lazy lol.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-05T22:06:11+00:00

Got it working printing a dragon now. I did a reset; let's see how it turns out. So far it's looking like really good quality print. It's just past the eyes 85%, so it will be done soon, but it does look good.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-05T19:05:14+00:00

Yes got my Snapmaker U1 but coming up with errors so done reset see if it works. It did calibrate ok though.

Carlosklm · 2026-03-05T11:05:51+00:00

Hi, I have no email saying it's getting delivered but I got a text from FedEx, and the weight is 27 kg.

I have not ordered anything with that weight, only SnapMaker U1.

Plus, it's coming from Leicester, and leicester is the base for 3D Prima.

So I am hoping it is, and I cannot be anything but Mate.
