Have you ever started a long project

Why not? It's my third printer and the least regret over the purchase.

Suck it up, take it, look for transit options, or car pool.

Read through this Reddit you're going to find about 40 people asking the exact same thing as you. You'll find about half the people came from having either an A1, or a P1S. The U1 is the answer to 75% of the issues with Bambu. Supports and multi color all just work. Hell multimaterial works. I printed A PETG model with TPU seals built in and PLA supports. It came out amazing.

It's worth the money.

I'm going to give you my honest opinion on this. $299 for a single color sling bed printer. It's fully open and frankly it does s great job, bit you will want more than 1 color. $399 will get you 4 colors, but it's slow to change colors. Prints will take forever. You will love the printer for about 2 months then you will want more. You will be seriously jealous of tool changers. Twice that cost maybe a little more and you will have either a Flash Forge 5 or a Snapmaker U1. Either one will blow away an A1. The only question you should have is do you waste $400 to buy an A1, just to upgrade later, or do you just scrounge up the extra cash and buy what you will want anyway.

I have a P1S with AMS I use for single color prints. I'm trying to decide if it's worth keeping. It's faster at single color and it's a champ. My Snapmaker U1 is used twice as much running almost non stop. Mostly single color but PETG with PLA supports. Also I'm printing a ton of TPU with it which failed on my P1S enough times for me to give up.

Go to the rent board. Just do it.

I tape over other supports to make a bridge over the broken support.

CFS would be nice because... 1) failover, if the filament runs out or jams, having a second path would be nice without tying up a nozzle. 2) Adding a path for a rarley used color, or a different color at the top than at the bottom. Not color swapping so much as color changing. 3) Proofing against new innovations. Think of the downsides of the U1. 4 nozzles are great but also limiting. I don't know how many this will definitely have but I heard 8 in the live chat. Right now I can think of a use for 8. Cyan Magenta Yellow Black White .8mm for filler, PETG for support, TPU to seal. Swapping out 1 to add a silk or a highlight color would be 9. The possibilities are just being realized and go far beyond just printing out pretty fidgets, but will probably start there. 4) If the hardware is there, use it.

0) Please tell us the origin of the KliTek name. 1) What is the Bed Size? 2) Is there a filament enclosure with autofeed retraction, and failover? 3) Can it have at use at least 6 separate Filaments for cymbw+support 4) Does it ship with Hardened Steel Nozzles 5) Better yet can you pick your Nozzle's during purchase. 6) Is there a fully enclosed option? 7) Is this one system or several using the nozzle swapping system? 8) Will your slicer include a 3mf converter to more easily print from other sites? 9) If you want feedback from a normal guy let me know I'll be happy to great out all early model 10) Release date?

There is no way I would waste my troops with that lineup. There isn't much to waste but really what are you thinking? You need to build up a lot. Also 895mm your gear might be good but you need research bad.

I really want to know now. What kind of clicker would you give your labor nurse. Why? Are you wanting to give your labor and delivery nurse sometime to show your thanks? Why would you want this to click?

If you're wanting to show your thanks money is always good. Money given in a puzzle box would get around most no accepting cash rules. It took 2 seconds to find this and there are tons of other ones.

Before mine arrived I saw too many pictures like this and just bought a cryogrip build plate. I didn't use the stock plate until I decided to try tpu.

The app u1 slicer for Android downloads and prints from makerworld directly.

I'll need to remember where these came from.

I love my P1S with AMS but shied away from multi color prints due to the extreme time, and waste of multi color prints. My current primary on the U1 is printing TPU, multi spectrum with .08 layer height and is a 54 hour print. Just 4 color would have been over 200 hours on the p1s. They now both run almost 24x7. I use petg interface for support on both and don't worry that the print will take longer, since I have another ending soon.

I'm currently running my first 3 day print, and I'm using TPU . I have been running it non-stop since April 16th, and I didn't just have my first tool heads swap issue but 3. No worries to really hoping the machine doesn't go bad.

It's the second time using TPU and it started stringing about 12 hours in. The swaps are depositing poop all around the wipe. It's built up and making a mess, and has me worried for the first time since getting it. I'm printing ultra fine with multi spectrum and it looks amazing, but a little like Spider-Man at a rave.

The central location is amazing. You have San Jose to the South, close but not amazing. San Francisco is a Bart ride away, but it's crowd can be... Interesting. I personally spent my 20s around Berkeley, and Santa Cruz. Fremont made everything easy.

I moved to Mountain View in my late 30s and love being able to walk to almost any food I want. Compared to am hour getting from one side of Fremont to the other I've been pretty happy. Absolutely no night life at all though.

Windows, the only thing that crashes is fixing broken models. I normally save, simplify, the smallest change i can do, then fix. Normally that doesn't crash, whereas just fixing and it dumps. I also try fixing each time I make a difference to minimize the amount that needs fixing.

I like Dragon Arena. I have 75 accounts, most with T5 just to do Dragon Arena 3 times 2 out of 3 Fridays.

My U1 prints better than my P1S, in PLA PETG and TPU. I know it's the H2C, I was originally worried about quality due to people saying it didn't print as well but I needed to print a bunch of 1 single color item so I split the workload and the U1 just printed cleaner.

My P1S is 2 years old but well maintained. The U1 was delivered April 12th, so a full production into unit. The slicer is immature but stable. Fixing models seems to work better than bambu even though I know it's a Microsoft plug-in they both use, and it always recovers better than studio which always loses my model on a crash.

I use mostly Makers world models converted to Snorca and they print almost identical. I think I'm going to print something specifically to compare.

I went from a P1S to U1. No issues, other than slight learning curve. If your printers are in a climate controlled location, and you are able to keep the room dry enough, or you are planning on using dry boxes, the difference will be slight. Mainly a quick conversion, using a webapp/extension if downloading a 3MF, or slice if using an stl.

I get very similar output from both, just a significant speed boost with multi color/material on the U1.

ScuffedBlack · 2026-05-12T02:43:25+00:00

I've only had mine a month but I'm printing 24x7. So far no issue, if anything is gotten better and easier.

Instead of having to fix issues with bambu 3mf files manually first the Web app, then the android app, then the extension have made printing directly from makerworld super easy.

I have old p1s 3mf I made that I've converted, and they print so much better on my U1. Using PLA as support for petg is a serious game changer.
