I put the Snapmaker U1 through its paces with some of my most ambitious multi-color and multi-material prints, combining PLA, PETG, TPU, Carbon Fibre Nylon, and a variety of support materials. In this video I discuss the results with comparisons to the Prusa XL and Bambu X1C. Based on my findings I conclude on whether the Snapmaker U1 is a true market disruptor or just another wannabe.
