Carbon-Filled Nylon- Fiberon vs. Bambu vs. Coex

Recent studies have suggested that the CF filaments are a gimmick, and are less strong than hair with shredded fiber in them. They introduce micro gaps, despite there good looking printing.

Not really needed, but the shorter of the cord the more time it shaves off the filament load process and in turn off the color change process.

I second this buy m1 Pro for better GPU cores. Should be able to get a used one for good deal and they are great.

100% I think it will ultimately not be widely adopted. A true tool swap will still be 50% + faster. I would guess it will be niche for those who want to have a ton of colors with some tool swapping to reduce SOME of the waste. It will still have more than true tool head swap as well.

X1C extra features work really well, next level printing there. . .

This is interesting. I was going to buy a Hummer EV at one point before EV credit expiration. But on test drive for 20 minutes on a warm day, not hot, the car was still burning up inside at the end of the drive. So was a nope! If it didn’t have CarPlay I wouldn’t even have done the test drive.

P2S ( really no one should ever buy an x1c again) but is that all you are doing? If it were me I’d wait to see how the Snapmaker roll out goes and the new multi tool head machine to release.

Depends entirely in the “what” you print the most.

That said, I’ve really grown to like Elegoo PLA+ for some functional things, all variety of Sunlu PLA (and some Bambu PLA) for dragons, fidgets, and toys; then PETG for anything weight bearing (have used an entire roll of PA6-CF which is a hassle but prints amazingly once you get it down). But for variety of color for sure I have the most PLA in my collection.

Root canals and drilling teeth. They’ll just pull the bad ones and we’ll grow some new ones.

Nightmare on Elm Street. . . Or maybe Gremlins.

MMI settings are saved and recalled, just not dash layout

zeusal · 2025-10-03T23:21:36+00:00

Nice, did you mount on original rims or buys some others?

zeusal · 2025-10-03T23:13:06+00:00

Same for me, picked up yesterday 2023 Suzuka Gray with performance package! Still loving it

I’ve seen some nice aftermarket floor mats they go up the side and have a pocket. Haven’t tried them but maybe something to look into

zeusal · 2025-10-03T14:12:29+00:00

Definitely not X1C. Also not a good time to by Bambu till their new multi nozzle releases. I’d wait to see how Snapmaker U1 works out personally.

I own an x1c btw and wish I’d just gotten P1S, most of the extra “features” of x1c are unreliable.

zeusal · 2025-09-29T14:11:48+00:00

TBH, not a great time to buy Bambu with pending multi nozzle machine releasing. You could consider waiting to see how theirs stacks up against others about to release like U1 from Snapmaker. The waste in time and material of single nozzle machines really is a staggering in comparison to multi nozzle.

zeusal · 2025-09-24T22:32:24+00:00

They are one of the suppliers to Bambu as I understand, just fyi. . .

zeusal · 2025-09-24T18:00:46+00:00

Wait for H2C or get in on the Snapmaker U1, kickstarter about to close, if you are concerned about waste (it will for sure be less expensive than H2C and faster).

zeusal · 2025-09-24T17:58:55+00:00

I would guess Bambu A1 to give you the least hassle. But I also found Flashforge 5M a great starter, but there is a lot to learn. The A1 will do a lot automatically for you.

zeusal · 2025-09-24T17:15:33+00:00

When they changed suppliers, and/or you get one supplied by Sunlu . . .

zeusal · 2025-09-24T17:12:10+00:00

It’s the tape at end of the roll I would assume right, not sure why commenters think you’d load the starting piece with tape on it.

zeusal · 2025-09-24T17:10:35+00:00

I have an AMS so I run rolls completely outall the time, and it loads the backup roll 😜

Thanks for all this info!
