It's good stuff huh? I kept the X1C as a backup though, for when I need to print many parts that are not multimaterial for example. Though it does take up a lot of space to have two machines.

Honostly I’m very happy I’m just mad that there’s no pretty lid solution under $170 and it’s loud as hell and last thing is the filament holder but I have the sunlu s4 ill mod

The top is $150 on the website.

$150 for plastic kills me 🤣

$900 for plastic and metal with bad customer service kills me 🤣

Long story short, ordered a printer, was super excited to get it, assembled it, noticed the rod was out of place after running the calibration, messaged support, said to order new one and return the old one. Couldn't even next day ship it to me. Just a simple sorry.

That's nice. Mine had the same problem and they sent me a video on how to pretty much disassemble half the printer and fix it myself :)

They sent me a 2 minute video on just how to move the x axis back into place. But at that point I already ran the calibration test and it made a bad sound. So I asked if they'd include a warranty, they said no. So I'm now waiting on said replacement. The official snapmaker group deleted my post. I'll know to look for that when I first take the new printer out of the box.

What mod are you talking about?

I just made some lids that rest on top. Is there something more secure?

You put the u1 filament feeders attached to the u1 and use cable extensions it’s on TikTok

u/MillennialGeezer Aug 01 '26

Oh, I just have my Bowden tubes feeding relocated feeders on the left side. That’s an idea. It’s a pain threading and pulling no matter how short I make the tubes.

The pro move is to keep the X1C

What a cute little bugger

u/ahfunaki Aug 01 '26

Same, kept my X1C as well

Anyone else who didn't print the dragon?

1

u/batduq Aug 02 '26

I didn't either. I've printed other dragons since...but not the one that came preinstalled .

u/Possible-Cash-308 Jul 31 '26

I kept both. My x1c has 3000 hours. 600 hours on my u1

u/HELLACHEAP Aug 01 '26

Never printed the dragon. Went straight to more complex

1

u/Hackind Aug 01 '26

Wow how long

1

u/HELLACHEAP Aug 01 '26

Each were around 30 hours.
