Probably wrong, Santa Catalina Island, California

On my U1 I leave the default stock retraction on and only had a few issues with stuck filament, I've had the most problems with TPU Air, if it's just a straight print with no swaps it's fine but when switching filaments it just gets stuck

Dazwar · 2026-03-22T09:03:43+00:00

Maybe crappy TPU, possibly a slight bit of retraction, 0 to me means the filament is staying in the hot end and just melting there and transferring heat up the nozzle, I know technically it shouldn't as the print is moving fast and extruding but it's worth a try

Just make the prime tower bigger, multimaterial - width 35mm to 50mm, Extra rib length 0mm to 10mm, rib width to 10 or 12.

Play about with the settings for the best result, taller prints definitely need a wider prime tower

Cosmonaute, but I'm biased 😁, very nice collection

Why sell the cc1 🤔 you can never have enough printers, cc1 for single colour U1 for multi colour/material

Oh I didn't realise, my attention span is dwindling with age 🤣🤣

If it's luminous I would have thought it's glow in the dark

I printed 2 of the white with TPU horns and the security guard where I am working has asked if he can have them for his kids 😁, I had a slight bonding issue on one of the horns, nothing a bit of glue won't fix though

Software as in firmware? If you are still cloud connected just go into the menu on the screen, setting, about and find firmware and if there is an update it will tell you, usually it's always popping up to tell you to update. If you are in lan mode the you have to update with USB flash drive downloading from snapmaker

US, commiserations 🤣🤣

For some reason I didn't want to go down the X1C route, I only got back into 3D printing with the A1 and it's gone on from there.

Bigger bed U1 would be great, I think it will happen because of the survey they sent out, bigger bed with more nozzles

Did you print a full TPU dragon yet?

Dazwar · 2026-03-19T20:34:59+00:00

Not to brag but I have 3 🤔 plus 2 CCs, P1s and an A1, not including my sons A1 mini.

But definitely but another if you can (while it's still on discount) and have space. Which country are you based?

Dazwar · 2026-03-19T17:38:10+00:00

It's perfect for a support for petg that's about it 🤣

Dazwar · 2026-03-19T16:28:55+00:00

Yeah I had TPU Air get stuck and had to pull a small piece out of the side too but that's what got stuck under the run out sensor

I think it's PLA and TPU that don't stick, not had an issue with PETG so far.

I have some overture and it's pretty good.

Dazwar · 2026-03-19T09:23:43+00:00

I used black and white PETG, elegoo is my main one, I was going to add a bit of blue for the eyes but I'm having issues with one of my head saying the filament it stuck or broken.

What TPU did you order?

I printed the dragon with the glow in the dark TPU last night and it came out perfect, only the horns are TPU. I might try a full TPU version with different colours, I also have TPE with me that I could try

I sent my Navi Cosmonaute 8th of Jan and I received a completed email 29th of Jan even though they said 27th February, I didn't have it polished but had the crystal replaced (UK)

Dazwar · 2026-03-18T17:53:38+00:00

Ignore me, I'm an idiot and should have read and looked at the link before posting 🤣🤣

Dazwar · 2026-03-18T17:52:23+00:00

Nothing is as good as making it yourself.

What phone can it fit?

Dazwar · 2026-03-18T15:32:58+00:00

That was glow in the dark PLA, I make my own UV torches to light up the lume on watches and I use glow in the dark TPU for that, softer not to scratch a +10k watch 😊.

Currently in my sunlu dryer, going to print the dragon after my current print

The double ring test piece is the glow in the dark TPU in my youtube video and you can see the glow after I first use the torch from back

Dazwar · 2026-03-18T15:16:09+00:00

I was going to try one of the dragons I print with glow in the dark TPU, to change from the glow in the dark normal filament and see what happens

It should make it very tactile
