So sick of Babmu Lab crap, I was considering getting it as my next core XY multicolor 3D printer, but after crapping on open source community for the second time, I'm done ... I'm now considering Snapmaker U1 and Prusa Core +/L with INDX ...

One neat thing about moving to Orca Slicer from Snapmaker's own turd is finally being able to automate the enclosure exhaust fan. Since I can add custom G-codes to be run at start and end of using some specific filament, I can now have the fan auto start when ABS, ASA or anything else super stinky is being printed.

full spectrum printing -is- pretty neat. Translucent filament was recommended, this here though is bog standard opaque PLA (CMYW). Now, what to do with that power? 🤔

After losing track of it in a pile of “stuff”, finally dug out my parents old Mac mini. Was thinking I could use it as a main driver for my #snapmaker, but it’s too old (2012 4GB 500GB). Oh well.

It’s all freshly installed and updated as far as it can go (Catalina) and I was able to hook up an old 500GB FW drive and confirm that was clean too.

Anyone still have a use for something like this?

A lot of 3D printer's pre/postprint sounds come from the G-code file, so changing the slicer can make those familiar sounds into something very different.

After almost 6 years of hearing the Snapmaker A350's starting sounds, it sounds so darn odd when none of the familiar clunky sounds are not heard any more.

One very noticeable difference is how it ramps down the head movement speed before stopping. Before it just stopped abruptly where it wanted, now it eases up before the stop. I believe it's this behavior that gives the noticeable upgrade in print quality and seems to almost completely eliminate the almost constant 1-2 step layer shift this thing has had.

This and the 20% speed bump have greatly breathed more life into this old behemoth. #3dprinting #3dprinter #snapmaker

Everything looks good in vanilla Orca's interface, extruders and all seem to be in order. Since it's summer and boating season, let's make us a ride.

The 1:1 Benchy looks a bit lonely on the A350's huge print bed.

📻 Ep. 4 — Who Let the Magic Smoke Out?

Alex tells a sad tale about releasing the magic smoke from his Minisforum MS-01 and the rabbit hole of high availability, and we discuss the wonders and current state of 3d printing, including the new Bambu X2D and Snapmaker U1.

@jsj

The price surprised me, and this is by far a more enterprise-grade printer. But I don't know if I am even sold on the idea.

I've always wanted a #Idex printer, mostly for water soluble supports or even doing the PETG-PLA trick #Modbot has suggested before. But with the relative price of the #Bambulab #AMS, isn't it just better to get that? Because here you are now just limited to 2 colors, and the AMS could one day be upgraded and also easily extended.

So I wonder if Idex will be killed before it even went big ever? #SnapMaker are leaders in the space, and technically, this isn't an Idex because the nozzles are on the same head.

If creality wants this to be successful in the target group they are pricing it at, their software needs to improve.

I think most people can admit that similar to Apple, the thing which makes the BambuLab printers so good is the software and build quality.

@3dprinting #3dprinting

We just came across this exciting news about the launch of the #Creality Sermoon D3 Pro—a Red Dot Prize winner that's said to revolutionize the 3D printing industry with its cutting-edge features and exceptional performance. 🏆🎉

We are really curious to know what you all think about this new innovation. Is the Sermoon D3 Pro sparking your interest, or do you find it a bit too pricey for what it offers? 🤔💭

One feature that caught our attention is the "Independent Dual Extrusion," but we've also noticed more affordable automatic material systems like the #AMS from #Bambulabs or #Idex from #SnapMaker Do you believe dual extrusion is a game-changer, especially with these other alternatives available?

We would love to hear your thoughts and opinions! So, drop your comments, and let's discuss this fascinating development together! 🗣️🤗

@thinkyhead @layers @marlinfirmware

I agree, but one thing to note is, #Marlin is big, and you are big. You have a say and some power behind your voice, but smaller #FOSS developers still suffer.

One thing that disgusts me is 3D printing companies just actually doing this.

In the popular series "Blue Bloods", Frank Regan said that it is so disgusting when a cop commits a crime, because cops should not be kept at the same standard as other people, but at a higher standard.

Now we have companies coming in here. Like #SnapMaker, saying they love #opensource and they want you to create what you want at home and I would put money on it that would attempt a rip-off of #Printables or #Thingiverse in the future for "open-source", but then they do stuff like this.

I honestly didn't know this about them. I was actually interested in buying their #IDEX printer.

@3dprinting #3dprinting

@RobeeShepherd @3dprinting

With a #PrusaXL, you'll still need to have purges if I understand correctly because it still only has a single nozzle and then the #PrusaMMU.

If you want a #IDEX, #SnapMaker is currently the leader in the space.

@3dprinting #3dprinting

Next up: let's see how the Snapmaker A350 eats this softer TPU. I've been searching for the softest TPU that's still reliable to print. Prusa's bowden feeder didn't want to even try this, but Snapmaker has direct feeder.

The outcome was an intact Benchy but I found something extremely odd about it. It doesn't have that slight layer shift that the machine has had since the beginning. I'm starting to wonder if Cura was somehow misconfigured or just not optimal for this machibe.

The most noticeable difference are the fast moves. Snapmaker Luban generated G-code makes sudden stops, what Orca generates audibly ramps down the speed just before changing direction. The quality difference is noticeable. It's almost like this thing was reborn in both, speed and quality-wise.

From this brief experience I can already wholeheartedly recommend ditching Luban, flashing the beta with Octoprint support and moving to vanilla Orca.

#snapmaker

Oh my god, Snapmaker has released a beta firmware for the 2.0 series that has integrated Octoprint protocol emulation. Since the beginning they have insisted on their proprietary protocol, which has tied the users to their proprietary slicer, Luban. Luban again is a 3-in-1 3D print slicer-CNC carving-Lasering suite that is bad at all three, especially in 3D printing.

They have also bastardised Orca with their own horse shit additions and made it work with their latest models, but since Octo is supported, I can hopefully switch to vanilla Orca.

If it works, I'm going to charter a ship, find the exact spot of the Mariana trench and drop Snapmaker Luban in there, encased in concrete.

Snapmaker's U1 toolchanger enters full retail availability on April 10th, 2026, with the price increasing to 899 USD. The machine shifts from preorder status to in-stock inventory across worldwide warehouses, marking its official transition to general availability. https://all3dp.com/4/snapmaker-u1-hits-retail-april-10-price-to-jump-to-899/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Snapmaker #Hardware

Snapmaker has announced the U1, a desktop 3D printer launching April 10 at 849 USD. The machine features four independent toolheads for multi-color printing, reducing waste by up to 80% and cutting print times by up to five times compared to conventional multi-material printers. It prints at up to 500 mm/s with a 270 x 270 x 270 mm build volume. https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/snapmaker-u1-launches-on-april-10-now-pre-order-at-849-249864/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Snapmaker

Holee shit, #SnapMaker released new firmware for the A series devices. I might actually be able to use wifi on mine (A350T) now.

Ok, here’s what I know I won’t be making for Christmas. This was a great experience. Yup, total failure. But I learned a lot about laser cutting things to be fit together… and how NOT to do it. Also learned more about LightBurn (laser software). And that my #Snapmaker controller is definitely hinky. I have a MBP and an older Win10 notebook, and neither can make a connection to the unit when plugged in. (See alt text for more details)

Started working with my #Snapmaker again. First up is some Christmas crafts for the great nieces.

Dear Fediverse, I need your opinion about a 3d printer, the Snapmaker U1.

I found it on Kickstarter and pledged my money on it, but am still unsure... 🤔
There are only a few hours left to recall.

Features of the Snapmaker U1:
- 4 toolheads
- 5 sec toolhead swap
- multi-material like TPU and PETG
- low waste (they say 80% less)
- 500 mm/s speed
- smart calibration
- auto filament system
- app control

I already watched the reviews of the pre-production devices and they do sound great.

Currently I own a Bambu Lab A1 mini and planned to upgrade to AMS (300$) this christmas, but the 799$ of the Kickstarter campaign for the U1 sound like a fair deal for a bigger and more versatile device.

What is your opinion about the U1? Should I stick to Bambu Lab with AMS or get the U1?

Here you'll find more info about the U1:

#fdm #fdmprinting #3dprinting #snapmaker #kickstarter

That's crazy! The #Snapmaker U1 has raised almost €15 million on #Kickstarter, and the campaign still has 10 days to go. Wow!

I just had one of those #3dprinting "15 minutes of printing that took me 2 hours of disassembling the hotend to unclog it in the stove" moments. I suspect it's time to look at an #elegoo #centauricarbon or a #snapmaker #u1.
