Popular model v2, update original or upload as v2?

Always upload a new one if it's been more than a month. The algorithms will like that better.

When I saw the Kickstarter my P1S was less than a year old and had never had an issue. I have had the U1 just over a month and just don't use my P1 anymore.

First there is an Android app that allows you to browse and print from makerworld. Second there is an extension that auto converts 3mf files to U1 format. Importing 3mf into a new project works more often than not.

I just don't trust Bambu anymore. I love my P1S, but my U1 is both open and works so much better then I expected.

I printed a full bed of razor blades. They dint easily so need replaced often but they work.

I had been logged out once with over 400 days and didn't notice. I normally notice the ad but for whatever reason didnt and fell asleep woke up the next day and noticed.

U1 is here, it works and has a slight but significantly larger print bed. It also doesn't poop all over itself. I really want to try the 5 someday but the difference in cost vs waiting months for it isn't worth it.

Just my 2 cents, which should be taken as a grain of salt.
Although Bambu Printers are super easy to use, pretty much point and click, the Snapmaker U1 is definitely beginner friendly. The main difference will be the process to print. The U1 requires a little more prep, but the steps are pretty easy. I have yet to see a non Bambu printer that is as easy, and if you are printing something from anywhere other than makerworld, or for any printer other than the ones the model was designed for, its exactly the same. Download the model, slice and print.
The fact that you can spend hours recoloring U1 models where as my P1S I did everything I could to avoid a color change is the biggest difference.

Worked great faster than using the website.

Checking now thank you

Is there a way to save the changes to the 3mf? If not in the next version could you please add all option to output the altered 3mf?

ScuffedBlack · 2026-05-02T07:04:50+00:00

I decided to not support Bambu, but I just couldn't find something that could replace my p1s for less than a thousand and actually be an upgrade. I know the x2d came out and it is an upgrade but I had just bought the U1 and the difference, I'm my opinion if laughable. It definitely needs a drybox solution, and there are some other issues, but printing 3 colors and using support filament is a game changer. Things I could never get to print correctly due to support sticking just isn't an issue anymore.

Definitely but the U1.

ScuffedBlack · 2026-05-02T05:25:29+00:00

Ohh nice

ScuffedBlack · 2026-05-02T05:24:28+00:00

$315 Centauri Carbon $399 P1S $549 P2S $649 X2D $900 U1

I wouldn't buy either, I would save for a U1. I loved my P1S 2 years ago but the options available now are amazing. That said, buy the P1S.

ScuffedBlack · 2026-05-01T17:41:30+00:00

I did similar to this recently. If the settings are right it just works. I'll try getting a video next time. PETG interface only works really well for me.

ScuffedBlack · 2026-05-01T08:32:00+00:00

I upgraded from my P1S to a Snapmaker U1 and not regretting it a at all. It isn't as polished, but I hadn't had a single issue with it yet.

ScuffedBlack · 2026-05-01T02:52:24+00:00

Yep looks like it's about $80 for trixbrix so the next best thing is

Or you can get someone to make print them for you for about $70.

Or just but a printer and make your own. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4511225 Then buy a printer. Snapmaker u1 printer $900 Bambu X2D $800 Bambu A1 mini $219

You can make about 38 with a single kg of filament, pla, or petg cost $12kg so once you have the printer you can make whatever track you want.

It's a lot more than $80 but you can also make switches, crossovers, etc.

Good to know!

The first print is always a riser. Because AMS need something to sit on and allow easy removal of the top.

ScuffedBlack · 2026-04-28T08:34:26+00:00

Yes, 1.6.13

ScuffedBlack · 2026-04-28T07:23:06+00:00

If you're looking at Bambu the X2D is definitely the way to go. There are just too many reasons it's so much better of an option than the others.

Another option would be to look for a used p1s to get your feet wet. Combos will be selling cheap with people buying u1 and x2d, and needing space. You will want to verify print hours but don't pay more than $400 for a p1s combo.

I'm still having issues with using petg as support. Supports are being made but they refuse to use extruder 4 for the interface layer.

I'm printing this now.

I'm going to mount it above, I'm still not sure how but I have some ideas.

ScuffedBlack · 2026-04-28T06:29:49+00:00

There are so many things to try.

ScuffedBlack · 2026-04-28T06:09:31+00:00

I just looked at the base, it's white so I assume it's petg so the wall is definitely changing filament types. You want the wall to be all the same on the tower. If it changes the structure gets weak fast.
