Snapmaker U1, uses multiple toolheads for multicolor or multimaterial printing without the massive waste generated from filament switching designs like BAMBU.
Ooh that looks awesome! But I'm kinda in the same boat as before, this thing's 40% more expensive than the X2D :(
Depends on application. In my lab, these printers quickly pay for themselves. Scientific plastic is ridiculously expensive.
It'd be pure hobby use for me, nothing critical. I'm leaning toward the CC2 someone posted but I'll have to do some digging to make sure I'm not shooting myself in the foot. Fully open source is a huge selling point for me
